About Me:
Missouri born and raised. Moved to Nashville in 2002 to follow the dream of being a songwriter.
I have two amazing kids; my daughter Cagney is a wonderful young lady. She is a Chemist/writer/songwriter among other things. There aren't words to describe how amazing she is.
My son Mitch is in his 3rd year of college at MTSU. He is studying to be a broadcaster and wants to work for the NFL Kansas City Chiefs.
I hope that somehow me following my dreams has inspired them to do the same. My biggest thrill so far is watching their talent develop. Now I know how my Dad felt.
I have a wonderful woman in my life that inspires me to be the best I can be and to keep following my dreams. This is the first lady I have met that makes me want to put my guitar down for a couple hours and go watch a chick flick.
She is an artist and decorator. Her website is:

We have a wonderful life together and have so much going for us. We are truly, truly blessed.
Please listen to my music and leave me a comment. Each song has a life of its own. They all represent a particular time in my life. I continue to write and record. I will post more as I finish them.
I send you all peace, abundance and happiness.

The Preacher's Kid
By Phil Bennett
The preacher's kid sat in the second row and sang "Amazing Grace"
He listened to the words his Daddy spoke...still in his place.
He wondered if they listened to him speak
Why they only lived it one day a week.
Never knew how he couldn't see
That I needed him more than the sinners on Sunday.
But I was not a sinner yet, maybe I needed to be
to get what I needed from him.
In many ways, he was a hero to me
And I wanted to be like him and not them.
I always knew he was doing the best he could
He didn't know any other way.
I still remember the sermons he preached
He felt it and tried to live it,
but he couldn't get them to see.
"Don't you ever give up on God," he would say.
But they never listened, but I did.
And in many ways, because of him
the preacher's kid is a better man today.

After I got off the phone with you, I kept thinking about you and hoping that you're feeling better. When I got this invite to join this website, I thought, Why not?
It's wonderful to listen to your music!!! How come I don't have a CD??
And, by the way, I really liked the picture of me with the guitar so I borrowed it for my profile picture.
Love you!!
