My buddy and mentor, Dennis Adkins, was the writer of George Strait's #1 hit, "Ace In The Hole". There will never be anyone more wise or more kind-hearted than he was, especially as our family friend. He taught me everything he knew about songwriting.
He gave me this personal review on the lyrics of my recorded song, "Say Love Me":
