Saying Goodbye
Last October, I had to say goodbye to this guy, my uncle, Ed Talaga. This guy had been part of my life as long as I can remember. He was always there to help me, guide me and encourage me. I wrote this song while I was driving into town to catch a plane to […]

New Christmas Song
I was doing some writing Friday night and thought I would like to write a Christmas song. Because Christmas is fun – right? Here it is – in rudimentary form….. I Think It Might Be Christmas – by Willy Grigg
