I grew up in a really small town, very much like that of "Mayberry." There were only 48 in my senior class and 90% of us were classmates since 1st grade. We were, and remain, like family. So, 10 years ago, for our 40th Class Reunion, I wrote this song and sang it to our class... Although I realize this song is not a template for a "Hit Song," I've always felt it was one of my better songs and performing it to my classmates (and best of friends) was one of the highlights of my life.

Having been fortunate to have played sports from junior high, through 2 colleges, I had numerous coaches. But, the coach who had the greatest influence on me, also coached my mother (basketball) in her high school years, as well as taught me how to swim when I was 6. He coached my high school years in football & baseball and is listed in the Florida High School Hall of Fame. Most of all, this man coached character and self-control. I never heard him swear or even raise his voice. In fact, if he said, "John Brown," you knew you were in trouble and you were about to run some laps. This song is NOT autobiographical, but it is about the greatest coach I've ever known, Coach Shaw Buck!

Circles around the notion of "hearing" memories. How a song can immediately take you to another place or time and hold you there til it ends. The singer is in the middle of those memories when the songs end and comes back to reality with a smile!
