Original Music

All Original Music!

Many years ago, when I was a young man of about 21, I was playing in a band when my life suddenly changed forever. I was involved in a terrible car accident and spent more than three months in the hospital. At first, the doctors weren't sure I would ever make a complete recovery. The car had rolled over my midsection and then thrown me more than 20 yards. I had suffered extensive damage, including severe injuries to the ligaments in my legs. According to the doctors, even walking again was going to be extremely difficult. But somehow, I kept going. After a long and difficult recovery, I finally found my way back onto my feet. During those months in the hospital, I had something I had never really had before: time. Time to sit quietly, think, remember, dream—and write.
So that's what I did.
I wrote short stories, and, of course, I wrote songs. I had actually started writing songs when I was much younger, and over the years I have written hundreds of them. But the songs I wrote during that period of my life have always held a special place in my heart. Whenever I hear one of those songs, I'm taken back to that time. I remember the uncertainty, the struggle, the long days of recovery, and the feeling of not knowing exactly what the future would hold. It was an experience that changed me in ways that are difficult to explain to someone who has never lived through something like it.

One of those songs is "I'm the Music Man." This song is a little different from the others. I wanted it to have a mystical, almost dreamlike quality—a journey into a place I imagined as Music Land. A place where music comes from everywhere. A place filled with melody, wonder, and imagination. A place where sorrow cannot find you. When I wrote it, perhaps I was creating more than just a song. Maybe I was creating a place I could escape to—a place where, for a little while, there were no hospital walls, no pain, no uncertainty, and no fear. Just music. I hope that when you listen to "I'm the Music Man," you can take that journey with me. Welcome to Music Land.
I hope you enjoy the song.
