“Chasing Waterfalls” is a song about longing for more than comfort — about chasing purpose, beauty, and peace all at once.

“The Best Years” grew out of me turning 60 and realizing I’d entered the final third of my life. Instead of treating it like a slow fade-out, I started to see it as a season of wisdom, gratitude, and unexpected joy—the best years.

This Old Barn is a song for every family farm standing in the shadow of corporate land deals. It’s a wake‑up call about what happens when we trade local fields and ranches for distant, industrial supply chains—and what that means for how we will feed a growing country. This is a call to action: to support family‑owned farms, to buy local while we still can, and to remember that protecting our rural communities isn’t just about preserving small‑town life—it’s about safeguarding our future food security.
My dream of starting this offgrid homestead on my own scared him, but he fully supported my dream. He called me every day to check up on the status of my projects, the weather, and rural life. I still miss him.
