	It's You and Me This is a kind of Rock/Country/Blues ballad about a soldier ending his last mission and heading home to his significant other. While the soldier may be a hero in some peoples' eyes, in the soldier's eyes his/her real hero is waiting at home for him/her.		Ballad
	Lucky on the Wheel A Country Rock tune about finding love at the roulette wheel in a casino. Why would I write a song about that? Who knows...Sometimes the weirdest things can pop into your head when you write a song. But, some nice twangy guitars sets the mood and motion.		Country Rock
	Fallen Bridges This song is a 4 part mini "suite" but don't fret, it's only rock 'n roll. Part 1 is cerebral lyric with some bluesy guitar. Part 2 is a fast paced musical journey of guitars and synths that hopefully propels the listener into an organized chaotic musical realm. (Wow, that was a mouthful of word salad.) Part 3 returns to the original theme but at a slightly faster pace and part 4 is a piano outro. Thank-you in advance for those of you who take the time to listen all the way through. I sincerely		Progressive Rock
