Guest Book

I have done two year-long deployments to Afghanistan as a helicopter pilot, and I have always felt that the song Rocket Man better summed up the experience of deploying to combat than any other thing I had read or heard. Word-for-word it is a near perfect allegory for the emotions of a pilot deploying to combat. I recently discovered your version of this song via Facebook-->You Tube, and I was blown away. The Elton John version is a little depressing, but your version is a perfect balance of optimistic with a bit of a foreboding. Since discovering you two days ago, I have watched your youtube video about 50 times, and listened to a bunch of your other stuff. As artists covering a dumb Elton John song, you may not feel much attachment, but know that your version of this song is my new anthem for acknowledging that I may have burnt my fuse out there alone, and I may not be the man they think I am at home.
