This tune- "Tequila Under the Bridge" by, the Massacoustics. I was proud to have inspired the entire song with Matt and Andy Thompson. They ended up going crazy on this tune (crazy in a good way) getting Buffett Coral Reefers- Peter Mayer, Jim Mayer, Mac MacAnally, Robert Grenidge and Mike Utley to be on the recording of this tune and the video. The tune was a birthday gift to friend and fellow troubadour- Scott Kirby. I'm proud of my writing credit on this tune, the Thompson's are world-class!

This interview with journalist, Paul Burton of Boston's channel 4 news, on CBS, was filmed on Friday, December 29th, 2023 at the Hanover Police Boy's Club.
Paul Burton is a heralded journalist and brother of sports reporter, Steve Burton of Boston's channel 4. Both brothers played college football at Northwestern University and have multiple high honor degrees.
This story is about Doug "the Hammer" Smith (Book GOON and two movies, GOON I and II), a life-long friend and my kidney donor match, Doug's nothing more than a genuine HERO to me. This is an incredible story. It's an act of real toughness, friendship, sacrifice, love and kindness that is difficult for me to articulate... Please give a listen... Thank you, PAUL BURTON and DOUG SMITH.​​​​
