I was way off. What do I know
It was not "100 Proof Memories" but rather "Serving One Hundred Proof" by Mr. Haggard. Sorry guys.
Either way hope you enjoy this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9enonzFkF-M

My Hero. Big thanks to my best friend, my wife, Jenny!! She bailed me out today on the video shoot as in classic Darren style I left all my clothes at home. Besides the ones I was wearing. :) We got it done and the Papertown video is a wrap. Then chicken and dumplins at home...you're a hero babe
Now, tomorrow is the big day...Taylor has a baseball game and then I'm heading to Asheville High School to perform with Jenny's choir. I'm so proud of her and the amazing job she does as AHS's vocal music director!
