Carolina - Partly true, partly fictional... My brother Jay moved farther away. It makes me sad.
Vickie's World - I know where I stand...
Night Train - Just a fun little tune from the perspective of a guy being "booty call". Hey, I can dream, can't I?
Not Long Ago - "Not Long Ago" may only have special meaning to my dear wife, Vickie and myself.
Everlasting - A very short but sweet little tune. Isn't love grand? I have the most amazing woman on earth and I have no idea what I did to deserve her.
"In Your Eyes" asks that age-old and seemingly universal question that all men who love a women seem to ask at one point or another. Perhaps we will never know the answer.
Jackie - In a more Rock style than what I usually do. Look, Kenny! No Acoustic Guitars! ;)
For Jay - For my brother, who taught me how to play guitar. Jay injured his hand in an industrial accident and has difficulty using more than two fingers to form chords on the guitar's fretboard. This song was written just for Jay and each of the two parts can be played using only two fingers.
