\"\"<\/a>We are slowly recouperating from last weekends events. Roar ‘n Soar was a big success and I will write a post about it when I get some final numbers and round up some great photos.\u00a0 After I finished flying on Saturday, I headed off to a music festival called Riverhawk to do a photo shoot for a music video I am working on.<\/p>\n

A friend of mine named Mark Johnson is a renowned banjo player and two years ago at this same festival he played a tune on stage he wrote and later recorded named “Katie Weeks”\u00a0 after my daughter.\u00a0 It\u00a0was on his second CD Album called “Acoustic Rising”, which later went on to be nominated by the International Blugrass Music Association’s Instrumental for Album of the Year!\u00a0 It also became one of the top requested songs off the Album on Bluegrass XM Radio.<\/p>\n

Anyway, at the festival two years ago Mark told us to catch his act.\u00a0 Katie was 2 1\/2 at the time and dressed in a cute little cowgirl outfit.\u00a0 We were all sitting in the front row and it was the first time Teresa and I had ever heard the song.\u00a0 When Mark began to play it, Katie spontaneously got up, went out in front of the stage with everyone watching, and began twirling around the dance floor!<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, everyone was very touched by what was going on.\u00a0 About eight months later the CD came out and I began listening to it in my car.\u00a0 It was a great tune and, as my thoughts flashed back to the scene of Katie dancing, words began to come to me.\u00a0 I soon realized I was to write a song for it.\u00a0 After a couple of months I had\u00a0the lyrics\u00a0done, went down to a recording studio, and laid some rough vocal tracks over the original instrumental.\u00a0 Everyone I played it to was tearing up by the end of the song!<\/p>\n

The vocal version has become “Daddy’s Little Girl”\u00a0with the intent\u00a0of recording the tune properly and creating a music video to go along with it.\u00a0 I don’t want to spoil the final product but I hope to create an Internet Site where daughters can download the song attached to a Father’s Day card!\u00a0 At some point, Father’s will be able to send it along with a card to their daughters.<\/p>\n

As if I don’t have enough projects going on, I hope to have this done and launched by next Father’s Day in June!\u00a0 I am attaching a picture of Katie dancing with Mark and I in the background from last weekend.\u00a0 Just to give you a taste of the song the first verse and chorus of “Daddy’s Little Girl” goes like this –<\/p>\n

You see that little girl . . . the one just over there . . .<\/em><\/p>\n

Full of innocence and wonder . . . big blue eyes and curly hair . . . <\/em><\/p>\n

Well, I just thought you’d like to know . . . that smile with skinned up knees . . .<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, that’s my little girl . . . so watch her . . . if you please . . .<\/em><\/p>\n

Chorus –<\/p>\n

Watch her dance . . . watch her\u00a0smile . . . w<\/em>atch her spin . . . laughing all the while . . . <\/em><\/p>\n

And if you see that little girl come dancin’ ‘cross the\u00a0floor . .\u00a0. <\/em><\/p>\n

You’d better grab your heart . . . ’cause it’s gonna melt some more . . . <\/em><\/p>\n

Watch her dance . . . watch here twirl . . . watch her spin . . . she’s Daddy’s Little Girl!<\/em><\/p>\n
