My first completed 2013 RPM track. Thanks to Kavin for turning a simple acoustic song into what you hear today. ONE LAST DANCE I never got to tell you what's been on my mind It might be just as well now that we're running out of time…

A little ditty for you to dance too all about my home town, a small place with not much to do but get loaded and rock out!

My first rejected Ramen Music submission. Too Much I wrote you a letter but I never sent it I was afraid you might never get it or what if you did and I lived to regret it and it was just too much for me to take now its four in the morning…
