I was fortunate to be able to record this track a few years back on my trip up to the North Pole. It features Santa Clause on vocals accompanied by the North Pole Big Band featuring Hermey the dentist on bells. It's a timeless recording for a timeless technology. NOTE: I was also very lucky to get this photo of Santa auditioning a new reindeer name…

The Way of Happiness is about Drinking. In this song the main character sees a light in the window of the house where his true Love lives. He knows he should go to her to show her his affection and for the comfort of them both. Instead he is drawn by the pint there in his Father's old flask and for whatever irrational reason, he would rather get dr…

I wrote this song back in 2000 when I first moved to Nashville. I was living in a tiny basement on 17th Avenue South - or Music Row Junior as I call it. The woman who lived upstairs had a little white dog that did nothing but bark. It nearly drove me crazy. But instead of losing my mind, I wrote Thinkin' About Home, my very first Nashville composit…

I wrote this song on piano many years ago when I was feeling pretty low about being single for so long. It's an expression of genuine Thankfulness for all I have in my life. It's also a musical prayer sent up to the Heavens asking for Love to come my way. So far I'm still single though I've had a few minor train wreck relationships in the mean time…

This song was written many years ago in a way that surprised me at the time. I remember sitting down with the guitar and my little cassette tape recorder. I pushed record and then began to play. This song came out almost exactly like you'll hear on this recording. One of the few times when I felt like a song was given to me instead of written by me…

This is one of the shortest songs I've ever written. However, there is a 2nd part to it that requires a big band (really). The melodic theme is perfect for a big band and if I had the money right now, I'd hire the Duffy Jackson Big Band. They're here in Nashville and one of the best Big Bands in this part of the country. This song is a call to all …

I wrote this some some years back when I was suffering greatly from depression. I lived alone and in a place where I didn't know many people. At that time my guitar was my best friend and one day this song just came out. I polished it and cared for it and turned it in to what you find here. These days I still live alone but not really. I have a gre…

I wrote this song many years ago and it's still one of my favorites. I do miss the podcast, but am enjoying immersing myself once again in my music. I've never had children or a family of my own and I guess these songs are the closest thing to children I have in my life - other than my beautiful dog Maxwell of course! Each of these songs means a lo…

I wrote this song some years back as a Valentine's Day present for my dearest Friend in the world. I still plan to record it one day with some nice cello parts and maybe a harpsichord solo. The secondary title for this song is: "Connie's Song"You Make The Rain Go Away (Connie’s Song)Words & Music by John Barrett & JW BrownYou are the fairest girl h…
