Profile Information
- Personal message about me:
- Doc Killian is a 50 year old factory worker who has spent about 20 years working in factories since he arrived home after spending 7 years as a U.S. Army Medic. A few years ago, his wife of 20 years talked him into listening to a bluegrass CD with the song "Darlin Nellie Grey" performed by the "Stanley Brothers". He liked the song so much that he was determined to learn how to play. So, he went and bought a banjo. While practicing daily, he started coming up with some tunes and lyrics to the some of the early songs he recorded. The banjo went on the shelf for a while so he could continue writing. While recording his first CD, "The Factory Worker", at WSDS Radio in Ypsilanti , Michigan , he met and became good friends with Bobby "Swampgrass" Anderson . Bobby was one of "The Westerners" (the band that started Mel Tillis in his career in Okinawa in the 1950's). Bobby and Doc worked together on Doc's next 2 CDs, "Red, White & BlueCollar" and "Blue Collar Business Suit". After a successful launch of those albums, Doc started recording the 4th album, "Boss And Work Are 4-Letter Words" with William Davis (a fellow worker, a friend, and excellent musician with 35 years experience as a professional). Bobby, Bill, and Doc worked on and released this latest CD which is now on the move in 30+ countries and the U.S. The List: -60+ Songs copyrighted and registered with BMI

Navy SeeBee from World War II~
I was feeling rather down this morning,
because I thought my music wasn't making a difference.
I could not have been more wrong.
I know now that it is touching people and making a difference.
I wrote and recorded REMEMBER OUR VETERANS
in 2004 at a local AM Radio station.
Today I went to get breakfast for my wife and I.
While I was waiting for the cashier to take my order,
I saw an man who appeared to be between 80-90 years old standing behind
me with a coffee cup in his hand.

Dear brave men and women, although you may feel alone
Know this now from your country your're not forgotten at home.
You don't make the policy but you do make a stand
Against dictatorship and tyranny in a very foreign land.
If you ever stop to wonder if there's a difference that you make
Just think of your family's Freedom if someone else tried to take
Freedom, rights and justice others hav… Continue

The price that is paid is only outweighed by the rewards that is recieved, God bless all the Veterans as well as those that support them.
“They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old:Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”
Wishing you a very happy birthday Doc! Enjoy your special day...(((hugs)))
Thanks for being part of the community .. love your messages, they are great.
Have a great birthday tomorrow ... take care and my all your dreams come true.
Regards
Noodles.
A thought, a prayer for a moment that should never be forgotten. God took them all for reasons we will never understand.
