Tracks
“Davey’s Cornet”, The title track details the true story of a Veteran who found a way to leave the war behind. PTSD changes lives forever.

“Ole Hickory’s Town”, May 3rd, 1901 the third greatest conflagration to strike an American city as seen through the eyes of Tom’s Grandmother. Jacksonville burns and the rest is history.

“Tate’s Hell”, Out where the pan meets the handle, a Florida State Forest gets its name, not from a man, but from what happened to him.
