A bird doesn't sing because she has an answer.

 She sings because she has a song.

Born Into Song

Growing up in the hills of Virginia, there is no memory that strays

 too far from a love of soil and song. We moved constantly but always 

in  view of the BlueridgeMy parents were musicians, both 

seemingly from some other time and from some other mountains.

 The question “When did you learn to sing and play?” has always 

struck me as odd as I do not remember a time without music. 

My Daddy was a carpenter and cowboy and all that it implies. 

My Mama made things beautiful, usually with her song.

Music was both luxury and necessity to us all, 

a constant thread weaving through and righting wrongs.

 I am after nothing and certainly not interested in fame, 

but I was born into song and that, in itself, is legacy enough for me.​

Playing here with my dear friend and mentor Patrick Callahan in honor of his son, Sgt. Sean T. Callahan at Drum N'Strum in Warrenton, Virginia. So many emotions on that stage.
