Most of you do not know this, but I was in the music business for several years when I was younger. I owned a nightclub "The Ambassador" at the age of twenty four for several years. My club was a spot featuring the who's who of music at the time. Reggae, rap, industrial, alternative, punk and rock were the music types. Some of the bands who performed at my club included Agent Orange, the Spin Doctors, Fear, Bad Brains, Inner Circle, Consolidated, Yellowman, the Wailers, Molly Hatchet and many more. We had quite the reputation for being one of the coolest original music clubs of all time.

I have always been a music man as I love most all types of music. Growing up with older brothers and sisters listening to 70's music and then my gosh the music of the 80's and 90's was unreal as songs actually had storied lyrics which held you to every verse. After watching and producing sound for so many bands over those years I had always felt like someday I would try to write a few songs.

Here is how this whole song writing thing just started a few weeks back. I was in my office and Devin Wright one of our employees was in the shop rapping. I heard him from my office. I walked out into the store and said "What are you saying"? he said "I'm spittin' mad lyrics". I listened to him for a while and thought he was good. He was rapping about fishing and the shop and then anything that came to his mind and I thought it was awesome! That night I went home and wrote the song "Bust a Nickel" on my couch which is a song about catching a 500lb swordfish. What else would I write about? Devin got me fired up and that was it!

One of my long time friends Chris Korzen who is a musician guided me to a guy who could record and produce the single. A week later it was done. There ya go!

I love being able to do cool stuff. I'm not a rapper by any means so the next song may have to be country!

Have fun,
