Blue Jean Baby

Just before Christmas 2005, Mike's youngest daughter, Amanda, submitted her Christmas wish list with a very unusual gift request. It was for her Dad to write a song for her. So, Mike decided to sit down and get this done.
Anyone who is familiar with Amanda knows that she is vivacious and full of life, always smiling and making friends, so this song had to be something upbeat, something sort of tough and sassy, something that made people feel good and would leave them smiling too.
So Mike grabbed his old Fender electric and worked out the chords as the lyrics came to him. Every line was approved by Amanda before it ever went on paper. When "Blue Jean Baby" was finally done, well, it was indeed found to be a country / southern rocker with smokin' guitars including some very phenomenal slide work by Sammy Hundley. Mike wanted the song to have a modern jitterbug tone accompanied by the sound of a 1950's Elvis & Jerry Lee slapback on the mic. The results far exceeded Mike's expectations . . . but not Amanda's. She seemed to always know that "Blue Jean Baby" would crank itself out just the way it did. It was a Christmas gift from a Dad to a daughter and it turned out to be both timeless and priceless.
