   Why not instead Resolve that such negative attitudes are gone and so long as   
   you're breathing, the kind of Music you Love, and you've already mentioned   
   several times, that it's country, is NOT gone...and then Prove it be Writing   
   some Brand New FRESH songs worthy to stand alongside all the great ones from   
   the past!!!   
      
   That's what I'm doing for rock and roll.

   That's been going on ever since Adam and Eve gave us DEATH, but in regards   
   to the Music, that's Not the problem!   
   Rather the  Real Problem, and Tragedy is that NO ONE is stepping up to FILL   
   THE EMPTY SPACES left when an artist passes from the earth.   
      
   > Times change. What music is about changes.   
      
   But it doesn't have to! That's why it's Important to write songs!

   The ability is there, all it takes is the Indomitable Resolve to DO IT!!!   
   If you Truly Love such Music, they it's Incumbent on YOU to keep it alive   
   and even make it better than ever before.   
      
   The title track of the second album is all about that:   
      
   5. Ignite The Sky   
   verse1   
      
   it's cold   
   that's what happened 'cause they let the fire go out   
   for all so many years like they don't care about   
   the state of the art in such decline   
   ignoring every vital sign   
   'till it wilted and withered on the vine   
   and left to rot and just get old   
      
   verse2   
      
   and dying   
   thanks to rampant laziness and plain neglect   
   so shopworn that it's just about completely wrecked   
   denied new blood for oh so long   
   what gave it life and kept it strong   
   with each new innovative song   
   and all for simple lack of trying   
      
   bridge   
      
   still there are some who can't stand idly by and wait until   
   it's finally dead   
   but make an effort to revitalize and rejuvenate instead   
      
   and we'll do it nonetheless no matter what it takes or what   
   might come our way   
   so once again so happily we'll soon be hearing everybody say   
      
   verse3   
      
   it's hot   
   blazing even more than when it first was born   
   new blood to give new life to what was stale and worn   
   don't ever be afraid to try   
   just give it all you've got and fly   
   go all the way ignite the sky   
      
   and it'll never be forgot   
   give it your best shot   
   get off the ground and fly   
   go all the way ignite the sky   
      
   That's the way to do it!
