As a singer, songwriter, and author from North Carolina, I would like to share a story with you, a story of a man from Tennessee who grew up with his Cherokee grandfather. Where he's from, how he grew up, who and what influenced and encouraged him. You will find this within the lyrics of the song "The Journey" as it is a song about his life. I would like to share my thoughts and the short stories behind the words, who and what inspired the story...
