CD - From Me To You
This was my first CD and is dedicated to my wife, Family and friends who all chipped on by birthday to make it happen. The 18 Wheel waltz was written for our friends Dixie and Jim Watson’s wedding, which we attended in London Ontario Canada. They both spent a lot of time on the Highway in their Peterbilt truck. The last great trumpet was in honor of my friend Geordie Mullan who passed away in Ireland 1994. He was an amazing player and a great friend, Sadly Missed. The Anniversary Song is for my wife Karen the love of my life. I wrote this for our Anniversary. Dresden Town, Written while I was still a traveling Musician and it’s a sound picture of what Dresden meant to me back then.
Three of the songs are covers. The rest are all original written about friends of mine and the people I met. “The Town I Love So Well” was written by Phil Coulter, a very successful Derry Musician and songwriter. Rita Mc Neal’s working Man and of course Danny Boy, all long time favorites of mine. Becky’s dream was inspired by her first visit to Ireland as she was born in Canada. When she got to Donegal she felt like she had lived there before and felt at home.
