Story behind the song

Night Wind was one of my single most difficult challenges to write. I had just suffered an injury to my left hand with the understanding that I may never again have the pleasure or experience the joy of playing a guitar again. Against claims made by others to give up the guitar, I used it as therapy to help overcome my injury.

The warmth of an evening gentle breeze passes by cooling my skin. The pleasant melody in this song is a reminder of other music composed for TV during the 1940′s or early 1950′s.
