- About me:
- Missouri born and raised. Moved to Nashville in 2002 to follow the dream of being a songwriter.
I have two amazing kids; my daughter Cagney is a wonderful young lady. She is a Chemist/writer/songwriter among other things. There aren't words to describe how amazing she is.
My son Mitch is in his 2nd year of college. I have no clue what he is going to wind up doing with his life, but it is going to be so much fun watching him develop. I hope that somehow my following my dreams has inspired them to do the same. My biggest thrill so far is watching their talent develop. Now I know how my Dad felt.
I have a wonderful woman in my life that inspires me to be the best I can be and to keep following my dreams. We have a wonderful life together and have so much going. We are truly, truly blessed.
Please listen to my music and leave me a comment. Each song has a life of its own. They all represent a particular time in my life. I continue to write and record. I will post more as I finish them.
I send you all peace and happiness.

P. S. I am also a HUGE St. Louis Cardinals fan!!!

The Preacher's Kid
By Phil Bennett
The preacher's kid sat in the second row and sang "Amazing Grace"
He listened to the words his Daddy spoke...still in his place.
He wondered if they listened to him speak
Why they only lived it one day a week.
Never knew how he couldn't see
That I needed him more than the sinners on Sunday.
But I was not a sinner yet, maybe I needed to be
to get what I needed from him.
In many ways, he was a hero to me
And I wanted to be like him and not them.
I always knew he was doing the best he could
He didn't know any other way.
I still remember the sermons he preached
He felt it and tried to live it,
but he couldn't get them to see.
"Don't you ever give up on God," he would say.
But they never listened, but I did.
And in many ways, because of him
the preacher's kid is a better man today.
I want to make the world a better place through laughter, music and poetry. I try to write songs that make people feel something, whether it be love, inspiration or motivation to change the world. I am attracting inspiration, creativity, abundance, wealth and meaningful lyrics. We have a saying here in Nashville...it all begins with a song.
I have 6 of my songs uploaded. Each one was a labor of love and one step closer to my dream. I hope you take the time to listen and I hope you are moved in some way.
Blessings to all and keep the faith!!
