This is a song I wrote when I found out that my High School in Germany has been having reunions. Nurnberg American High School is where I am from. The people, the place was my home. Ihope this song expresses some of the feeling I have for those times that I will never forget. |

This song is about Nurnberg American High School. I remember the first time I saw that biulding. I told my mom that our school looked like a big square, but over the next three years that square became like a home to me. The people I met there became like my family. Even today there is a strong bond that I have with alot of people from that school.
This song was inspiried by all the pictures that I've seen on our school's web site. So thank you Deb,Lynn,Courtney,Patti&Jeff,Julie,Viola,Mel,Reni,Joni,Joan,Andre,Robbie,Gennie&Shaggy,Greg,Christa&Pete,Karen,OJ,Ninie and countless others who have allowed me to revisit "The Square"

I wrote this song in 1978 after listening to a man telling me about his problems. I had went to the NCO club in Furth to listen to a battle of the bands concert. All I said was "how are you doing?" And this one G.I. proceeded to tell me his life's story. I went home and wrote this song.
Today I find it odd that I wrote a song entitled "Happy Hour" at age 16. |

A song for those who have parted this world.The people who have left us to soon. Someone said when you live you are asleep and when you pass you are truly awake because then life has no boundries, no concept of time or space.

This is a song about peace.
I returned to the United States of America in June of 1979. Going from Nurnberg West Germany to a small town in Alabama was a bit of a culture shock for me. I soon found out I didn't fit on any side of the tracks, and better yet I didn't try. In Germany we were all free to be who we wanted to be. In America it seem everyone had this pre-conceived guideline of how people are supposed to act. Well people tripped out the first time they heard me sang the Eagles "New kid in town" or Elton John's "Your Song".
I wrote this song for all those people who still don't get it. It's so much easier to love, then hate. It's so much easier to hug someone then hit someone. Because in the end this world will only make it with love. |

On March 28,2002 a Birthday party was given at a club on South Beach. The guest of honor was Umphrey R. Jackson. It was a treat for him to perform his new song "Reunion Day" The tape was rolling and something special was caught for all of us to enjoy. Listen to what it sounds like when an artist has the room's complete attention. Umphrey Jackson is becoming one of the best story teller/songwriters in the local music area.

So after watching the bay come alive with boats of fisherman taking the catch to the market place. I decided to jump in the shower and let some of life's little water drops wash off the dirt of the nite before. It always helps to have a couple of those towel girls in the shower with you to help you wash. I hope one day they will make them mandatory at five star hotels in the U.S. |

Undercover in Bangkok. My cover has just been blown. Now I'm on the run with a sexy asian double agent. We find a hotel room right on the water. We have to hide out for the nite, but there's only one bed. Being the man that I am, I let her pick what side of the bed she waqnted to sleep on. Somehow during the nite our bodies became intermingled. We exchanged all kinds of information, and by the morning I knew all I needed to know about bangkok. I explored every bit of her that nite I was hiding out in Bangkok. |

So after the lust game has been played. We decide that it's time to just relax in the arua of the momment. Now its totally dark and I'm looking at her hair in the moon glow. There is nothing more stunning then looking at a woman who is in the after glow of a good love session. So after we put ourselves back together we decide it's dinner time. Like I say South Beach has it's own way of doing things. |

This song was inspired by one of the most hippest,bravest people I know, Patti Beniot.
One nite after talking to a long time great friend Mel Harwell, we decided to put together a little something for our friend Patti to let her know that there are a lot of people out here pulling for her, praying for her, and just sending her healing vibes.
I had the pleasure of dancing with Patti at our school reunion in Las Vegas a month ago. And there's one thing I know about this lady, She a fighter. So after dancing with her I had to come back and write an uplefting jazzy riff that would let the world know what a special person this lady is.
So while you're jammin to this smokin groove, take a few minutes and send some healing vibes to Patti. |

Close your eyes and take a seat on the grass out in Patti's Garden. Take a deep breath and relax. Look over at the butterfly as it lands on a red rose and gently brushes off the love dust from it's wings. Smell the wind and the orders that the flowers send out to persuide the birds,bees and all of us to come and take part in this love game. Look at the Helianthus with their sunglow, telling us that a brand new day is just hours away. In the corner we have Snapdragons of every color just reaching toward the blue sky. Humming birds are all around filling up on the nector of life that flows from Patti's Garden |
