Legends of a Hero
I WAS BORN IN CLAY COUNTY KENTUCKY MARCH 1959 , MOVED TO OHIO AGE 4. AND I'VE BEEN IN CINCINNATI, AND LOVING THIS PLACE EVER SINCE.

I ALWAYS HAD A LOVE AND PASSION FOR MUSIC I BELIEVE THE FIRST SONG THAT REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS A BALLAD "WILDFIRE" BY MICHAEL MURPHY

THEN I STARTED LISTING TO JAMES TAYLOR AND PROGRESSED INTO AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR LOVER, I STARTED LEARNING CHORDS AND PUTTING THEM TOGETHER, WHERE IT STARTED SOUNDING RIGHT I THEN STARTED WRITING MY OWN SONGS.

(LEGENDS OF A HERO)
WAS A QUICKLY INSPIRED SONG. I HAD WRITTEN THIS SONG IN A COUPLE OF HOURS. THEN I STARTED ARRANGING THE SONG I THEN INVITED SOME FRIENDS OVER TO HELP WITH THE RECORDING

IN THE KITCHEN! YES YOU HEARD RIGHT IN THE KITCHEN .

I HAVE PLANS TO RE-RECORD THE SONG SOON, MY WISH IS TO MAKE IT APPEAL TO A YOUNGER GENERATION OF PEOPLE , SO THEY TOO CAN TAKE A INTEREST IN WHAT OUR FATHERS AND FOREFATHERS HAVE FOUGHT FOR TO MAKE THIS UNITED STATES THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH. AND OUR FREEDOMS WE SO CHERISH

MAY GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY AND ALL THOSE MEN AND WOMAN WHO HAVE FOUGHT AND ARE NOW FIGHTING TO MAKE THIS A SAFE AND A GREAT NATION

Legends of a Hero

IF YOU ASK ME WHY IM FIGHTING
ILL TELL YOU TO BE FREE
AND TO MAKE MY COUNTRY
BE REAL PROUD OF ME
IM REALLY NOT THE FIGHTING KIND
BUT ILL BE THEIR WHEN IT STARTS
BECAUSE I AM AN AMERICAN
DEEP DOWN IN MY HEART

CHORUS

AND THE LEGENDS OF A HERO
GO BACK BEFORE OUR TIME
LIKE OUR FATHERS BEFORE US
WHO STOOD ON THE FRONT LINES
FOR ALL THAT I BELIEVE IN
YOU SEE IT STILL HOLDS TRUE
THEIRS NO BETTER REASON LORD
THAN THE RED , WHITE , AND BLUE

VERSE 2

TOGETHER WE WILL STAND
DIVIDED WE WILL FALL
WE NEED THE SUPPORT OF AMERICA
NOW TO GIVE US ITS ALL
AND WITH MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
LORD WILLING WE'LL FIGHT ON
DON’T LOSE HOPE THE VICTORIES CLOSE
SOON WERE COMING HOME

REPEAT CHORUS

WHITE AND BLUE
RED WHITE AND BLUE
WHITE AND BLUE
LEGENDS OF A HERO
RED , WHITE , AND BLUE
