Dedication
Because I believe that love is the true essence
of life, I dedicate this music to those who have shared special places in my life: Ted Eldridge & Peg Eldridge
Walker, Milly Eldridge, my wife Bethany Eldridge and my special love, my daughter Amy.
As Rod Mckuen once wrote: "Love's been good
to me".
To Close friends, James and Debbie Wyatt. John,
BJ, and Missy John. Dee and Jerry Shandera, Stan & Julie Smart, Bob and Diane McRaven, Ned and Sandy Sherer,
Donald and Rene Bain and David and Cindy Scott.
When I think of the lives I have touched and been
touched by. I am truly a lucky man.
A special thanks to Tim "the Razor Hunnicut",
and especially James Wyatt for his support friendship and care during the tough times. Thanks, Jim.
Michael
Original Songs
Road To Payson - The highway from Phoenix Arizona to Payson Arizona is
one of the most beautiful drives at sunset. I am reminded each time I play this song of the last drive home.
Vicenta - A true lady. Full of love and life.Fun and humerous.She almost destroyed herself but
is alive and well.Good luck Vicenta!
Debbie's Theme - When in 1975 she came in and out of my life, for three
years she made me happier than I've ever known and sadder than I've ever known I still believe in love because
of her.
Someone I Lost - Speaks for itself. James Wyatt helped hone in the melody,
but the mood is one we all have felt or will feel. Something beautiful that is gone forever.
