From the recording The Point
“The Point” is written as a tribute to young love and adventure inspired by the peaceful serenity and breathtaking views and landscapes nestled between the majestic bluffs of northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin along the mighty Mississippi River.
I remember as a teenager and young adult hanging with close friends and walking up the railroad tracks along the river bank to a favorite secluded fishing spot we all called “The Point”. It didn't really matter if the fish were biting because there was always good company, good conversation, and a feeling of togetherness.
“The Point” is my tribute to those great friends, good times, and wonderful memories.

Lyrics
Heading out to the driveway
Gonna hop inside that beat up pick up truck
And peel down the highway
With the windows rolled down and the music cranked up
But I never even got the key in
Before my eyes fell upon that pretty-eyed girl
You were sitting on the front porch reading
And I just had to tell you hi.
When I asked you, How you doin'
You said, things are going fine
And I could see that sweet surrender in your eyes
I said, I got a little secret place
Right down by the water's edge
And I want to take you there with me tonight...
Baby let's walk down to the point tonight
We can cast out a line, we can wait for a bite
We can lasso the moon and count all the stars
While we're drifting away in each others arms
At the point tonight...
Cruising on down the byway
To an old dirt road way back in the pines
Little pretty eyed girl beside me
And we're gonna go kit it into four-wheel drive
Got a cooler in the back with cold ones
An old blanket and a bottle of wine
I'd been saving back for something special
Yeah, it's gonna be one hell of a night...
Baby let's walk down to the point tonight
We can cast out a line, we can wait for a bite
We can lasso the moon and count all the stars
While we're drifting away in each others arms
At the point tonight...
And I don't know where this road is going to lead
All I know is that I'm right here with you
I can't imagine life if there's no you and me
It feels so right, it can't be wrong
Babe come along, we go together...
Baby let's walk down to the point tonight
We can cast out a line, we can wait for a bite
We can lasso the moon and count all the stars
While we're drifting away in each others arms
At the point tonight...
