Dee Dee’s Story:
She tells me some 20 odd years ago her mother wrote a song in memory of her brother (Jeffery Jones) after a motorcycle accident while he lye in a coma, he passed away shortly after she had finished the song.
The Song:
Lord Help Me Hold On To You
Dee Dee says she finally got the song finished in 2006 with the help of her husbands aunt (Nellie Downs) who added the musical arrangement to the lyrics.
In the summer of 2006 Dee Dee traveled to Nashville to record her first song with Producer Michael Radford of A.M.I. Records.
Where he gave her a second (When The Rain Comes Falling Down) to make up her demo CD *Just 4 U* .
