I'm passing the torch.

The other day my five-year-old son, Caleb, asked me if we could work on a song called "Lightning Strikes". I've been listening to Live's Throwing Copper around the house lately while cleaning and what not, so I assumed he meant "Lightning Crashes". I played it for him to see if that was what he meant and he told me that it wasn't. In fact, he said, that song was "boring". He then sang for me more of what he had in mind. It is truly a Caleb original. He let me know the general idea of what he wanted on guitar and then he sang even more. I'm not sure where he got the ideas behind the lyrics, maybe it was from watching too much Weather Channel with his Pops.

Anyway, I told him that I would record it with him and we did today after church. This is a first take, just me and Caleb, with one mic in the room. Without any further ado, I present to you "Lightning Strikes".

I will keep you posted on what's going on with my music hopefully in the near future.
