I wrote this song around early spring 2016. I entered the studio and began fooling around with various sounds on my keyboard, looking for inspiration. After a long period of getting nowhere and not feeling inspired by anything I found, I came across a sound effect that seemed to match exactly how I felt about the progress I was making. It was the sound of my time going down the drain. Amused by the irony, I put the keyboard away and grabbed my faithful acoustic guitar. That's when I latched onto something that wouldn’t let me go. It was like I was under a spell and couldn’t break away. Many hours passed, feeling like minutes, until I had completed the musical arrangement. When I looked at the clock, I was shocked to see I had been up for at least 48 hours. I must have drunk six pots of coffee through the whole ordeal and was looking for more because I didn’t want to fall asleep in the middle of the day and begin a vampire sleep cycle. But I was completely out of beans. So I drove one mile down the road to the local coffee shop to grab an extra-large cup of rocket fuel, hoping it would keep me awake for at least six more hours. As I sat in the parking lot of the coffee shop, sipping my brew in the noonday sun with my window wide open, the sun was warm as I inhaled the cool spring air into my exhausted body. I knew I wasn’t going to last six more hours. My eyes began to close as I sat there, watching the people energetically hustling and bustling as my mind surrendered. I didn’t want to move another inch, but I knew I couldn’t fall asleep sitting in my truck at a coffee shop parking lot. But there was a part of me that really didn’t care. It just felt so good sitting there in the warm sun, breathing that cool spring air. I do not remember publishing this tune and I have no records that I did. So you will be the first the hear it after all these years. The title is Under Blue Skies. Hope you enjoy it.

Hello , Here's an acoustic song I wrote quite awhile back . It's about living on my boat on the Tennessee river and compairing it to the gulf. I never took the time to record it , but I've played it a good bit at solo gigs. I'm in the final mix /master stage and think it's getting close , but I always want fresh ears on a song for suggestions. Thank You for listening .. mark Final mix .. https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14682410
