No band, really. Just me and a couple family members in a bedroom studio.
I am a singer/songwriter at heart, but reality has me working a full time job. I don't play in a band, but love to sit around a campfire sharing my songs with anyone willing to listen.

Story behind the song
Saw a huge buck the first year I hunted McMullen county and the song started there
Lyrics
The stories go from town to town About a deer that's been seen around From Tilden to Three Rivers and in between. And, as the stories go it's said He wears a crown upon his head, One like few people anywhere have seen. His beams are long, his tines stand high, His rack is thirty inches wide And heavy all the way out to the ends. Hunters come from all around To find this deer and put him down, But he always seems to slip away again. He's the Ghost of McMullen County, The biggest buck you'd ever hope to see. The Ghost of McMullen County, He's out there somewhere runnin' free And, in my dreams, he's always haunting me. I saw him once, two years ago, Up in a tree stand with my bow. I hit the tube and tried to lure him in. He crossed a ridge behind a doe; All I could do was watch him go And pray that he would come my way again. I've been back many times since then And hunted hard 'til season's end. I look for him behind each rock and tree. He occupies my mind each day And night time, when I drift away To restless sleep, he's in my every dream. He's the Ghost of McMullen County. The biggest buck you'd ever hope to see. The Ghost of McMullen County. He's out there somewhere runnin' free And, in my dreams, he's always haunting me. He's the Ghost of McMullen County.
