Songs I've Created That Were Inspired By My Daughter

It's no secret around here that I dote over my daughter quite a bit. Every once in a while I like to
break out the music that had been inspired by this wonderful person. Like taking out a picture box
and looking over the contents with fond memories of those moments in life. I'm amazed and inspired
by her every day, and I love that little peanut more than I could ever express in song.

Hanna
This one was written when she was maybe 2 or younger.
I was sitting around with my guitar watching her play, and just let
the music take me where it wanted. I ended up with this melody line
that captured her innocence and wonder perfectly. I ended up recording
it some 8 years later, and it would be one of my first of many recordings.

Fields Of Youth
A song written while I was in a melancholic state of mind. Seeing her
graduate, and really feeling the time slip through my fingers as she had
become a young adult. I wanted time to stop so I could catch
my breath and hang on to my little girl just a bit longer before she
becomes more independent, and no longer needs Dad for support.

Morning Sunshine
I wrote this song with the help of Hanna. I let her pick the melody line and
then I played a few different style solo's over the rhythm. This is what came
from that fun afternoon when she was probably... I'm thinking 10 years old.

As A Child
Another playful groove that was inspired by my little peanut. It seems like just
moments ago, hearing her and her friends giggling out in the backyard, or having
her run up to me yelling "Daddy!"as she throws her arms around my leg when I
get home from work. Those are the moments that filled my heart with love.
Her spirit and enthusiasm for life is infectious.I just can't help but try to put
it all into a song like this one.
