Description

All the songs on this CD were written after several trips down to the Caribbean. The song, Track 3 Pina Colada combines several of the islands and the Keys of Florida. Banana daiquiris from Martinique, Cruzan Rum from St. Croix and Pina Colada from Bonaire and the idea of being out and aboutjust having some fun and the sun going down behind the clouds out on the sea, from Key West. This combination shaken not stirred will provide a very up tempo song about baking in the sun, singing our song and just having some fun!

Track 2, Island Time came to me after a busy day at home and finally sitting down watching TV trying to unwind and I started to think about our recent trip to Bonaire. While we were down in Bonaire after leaving home during a major snow storm I was trying to remember if I had gotten everything done before leaving, I needed a cup of coffee desperately that first morning. I ordered a cup from our waiter and 20 mins. later I still didnt have my cup of coffee. Seeing the pot of coffee I went up to get the cup myself. Just as I reached for the pot our waiter turned and said I said I would get the cup for you Mon, now go back and sit down and I will bring it over to you in a min. He added, Where are you goin mon. Do you need to be somewhere Mon? I went back to our table and sat down. My cup of coffee arrived after another 20 mins. It was then that I realized I was now Living on Island Time. I wrote the song that night.

Track 4, Cast YourDreams was written when we were down in Puerto Rico. It was in the evening and my wife and I were lying in a hammock out under the palm trees out by the beach. There was a band playing in the caf near by and a couple walked by holding hands and the moon was rising from the sea and I said to my wife this would make a nice song .......... I pulled my hat down as I closed my eyes.

Track 6, Boat Shoes (I wanna be a millionaire) was a fun song to write. Just putting the words together made me laugh while writing it. The song was based on the fact that someone actually said I was no James Bond.......Really! Take a good look around!. I also dont have much in the way of luck either. I think we all dream about what it would be like to win the lottery or strike it rich and what we would buy with all that money or what we would like to do with it as far as rolling in it or what have you. Most of the people I see on TV who have won the lottery dont look much like a James Bond either. For me, Im still standing on the pier waiting for my boat to come in.

Track 1, Martinique was written about leaving one paradise (the old coast of Mexico) for another with some beautiful secluded coves where all you need is a bottle of tequila, a lady and a sun that's hot!..........that's all you need and all you've got!

Track 5, St. Lucia To ask someone to sail away with you to St. Lucia and promise to stay with that someone for all time would be one of lifes greatest adventures. St. Lucia is only a state of mind. The promise.............is the real adventure.


I would like to thank all my family, friends and relatives and anyone who takes a moment to listen and enjoy the music......
