This song and most of the video was done in 2013. It is a fairly tortured song that I wrote and recorded the vocals and ukulele in a day. It's the rawest thing I have, but I felt like going back and polishing stuff would be a disservice to the feel and intent of the song. 2023 is my year for wrapping up loose ends....

Louie has a run-in with the local wildlife and ends up in the "L" column, but lives to fight another day. Also I recorded the soundtrack while messing around in the studio getting equipment dialed in

This song/video was written and recorded during the great Corona panic of 2020, on Hatteras Island. Lou Castro was kind enough to collaborate all the way from the tiny island of Ocracoke, just south of Hatteras Island. Thank you Lou! Here's some lyrics... You have been my one true love since I took my first sips as a baby You're the crown I wear on my heart Everything I've done, I've done with you And now this world's gone crazy Trying to keep us apart People walkin' round lookin' like jackasses from some super crappy movie If I was so afraid of life I think I'd rather die Every time I touch my lips tou your sweet mouth, baby you improve me And that there's why.... I don't care what they say You can infect me every day Take me any way you choose And if the things they say are true, let me die in the arms of you ...and me got a fightin' chance to lose Them Corona hatin' blues She's killer on cereal but she ain't no dang ol' serial killer You're all over the TV And all these haters and wanna-be irradicaters can all kiss the arse of me They're tellin' me to stay away 6 feet that's what they say It could be my own life I save But that same 6 feet by their insistence just happens to be the same distance From where I'm standin' to my grave, and I will choose that any day!

Jen and I were looking for surf one morning, and I happened to have the drums in the back of the car already assembled from the night before...if you can't find any surf, you may as well play some drums on the beach! Filmed in Frisco, NC

Here is a clip from day 2 of the Hatteras Island Car Safari on Hatteras Island, NC. The purpose was to provide the children of the island an activity that would get them out of the house with their parents while social distancing during the Corona Virus madness. Residents placed various stuffed animals throughout the island where they could be spotted from the road and identified. And then there was THIS thing...Brian Surratt played drums in a shark suit for an hour each day.
