This song was inspired by a friend of mine, who had become a Navy submarine captain after twenty years of service.
He was promoted to work in the White House under the Obama administration as chief communications officer . . .
So I said: "Dennis! Would you mind playing this song for the president?" He said: "Oh, I can't do that . . ." I said: "Sure you can! Just walk right in, plop it on the desk, and say: 'Mr. President? Here's a tune from a friend of mine, check it out!'" (I didn't really say that, but) at least I got a good song out of the deal. You will hear my friends Doreen Newton and Robin O'Herin singing harmony with me on this one.
