This song was Honorable Mention in American Songwriter's 2025 Annual Lyric Contest. Home demo recording. Sometimes songs come as a title or idea, and I develop them over a period of time..Sometimes they just come to me out of nowhere...That's where this one came from. I'm doing this demo with an electric guitar - sort of a new thing for me. I also often play it on an acoustic guitar. I like it both ways. Frankly, I think it's one of my best songs...Hope you like it.

A rough demo of another of the songs I wrote on piano after my journey that began in early 2025 learning how to play piano. Here's how this one came to life. A co-writer and I were working on another song when she said she had to leave because she had to be "home in a few minutes". A light went off. I asked her if I could use "Home In A Minute" as a title or if she wanted to co-write to it. She said: "Go head, it's all yours." I immediately visualized a story song with verses that would be scenes from a single person from her early school years, to life's end, centered around the phrase "I'll be home in a minute"...This is what came out of it. I love the song...At some point I'll re-record the demo, without the mistakes in playing and singing that this one has on one or two spots, but I wanted to get it out there for people to hear.
