1. RiverSide<\/strong> \u2013 Friends of Dave\u2019s family adopted a girl at birth 26 years ago. Through the Internet, the daughter found her birth mother. At that time, the young girl was married and expecting her first child. The birth mother agreed to travel to Texas and meet during the Christmas season. Dave had written a Christmas song about Mary and was performing it in his church on Christmas Eve. It is called Incredible Mother. As he was singing about one incredible mother, he looked at the crowd and saw the silhouette of three women enter the church. The mother, the young mother and her birth mother entered the sanctuary at the same time through the main entrance. Three incredible mothers! He went home that Christmas Eve, and before midnight this song wrote itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Gold Rush<\/strong> \u2013 This is a fictitious song written during an Alaskan cruise in 2001 about the struggles of the Alaskan Gold Rush and the fruits of hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Duct Tape Blues<\/strong> \u2013 This was originally written by Joel Mabus. Dave wrote the last verse, and Shermanized the song quite a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Sing In My Room<\/strong> \u2013 Because of his day job, Dave traveled a lot when his children were young. His daughter always wanted him to sing her to sleep, especially the night before he\u2019d fly out for the week. Several years later, she still wanted her daddy to sing in her room. Three year old grandson Preston adds his vocals to Dave\u2019s on Sing In My Room. A version of this tune is also on YouTube<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Daddy Take My Hand<\/strong> \u2013 This was written for Dave\u2019s youngest daughter\u2019s wedding 2005. She has always been scared of EVERYTHING.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Andy<\/strong> \u2013 Based on a college addiction to TV that Dave has never shaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Run Girl Run<\/strong> \u2013 Soon after Dave\u2019s first grand daughter was born, he wrote this song about the five things he wanted her to know as she grows up. \u201cRun\u201d in this tune is a metaphor for running toward righteousness and running from evil. Key points from Run Girl Run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Love God
* Dream big
* Have fun
* Show kindness to others, and
* Know that you are loved
* Run, run, run, Girl, run<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Raised Right<\/strong> \u2013 As the project was being completed, Dave was blessed with another grandchild. It was hard to know what to say in a song to this little one. Dave could only assume he would be a product of his mother and father. \u201cRaised Right\u201d is a play on the phrase that was yelled out when his daughter graduated from high school. In an arena packed with 3,500 people, she said the benediction. When she finished, a woman yelled out, \u201cYou know that girl\u2019s been RAISED RIGHT!\u201d The baby\u2019s dad\u2019s been \u201cRaised Right\u201d too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Company Man<\/strong> \u2013 This song is about working for Brown & Root, downsizing and now being self-employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. I Was There<\/strong> \u2013 This was the first of the three grandbaby songs on this CD. Dave\u2019s associate pastor, Scott Wiley spoke about a parent\u2019s greatest mission in life. That sermon inspired this song. He said a parent\u2019s most important task is to make sure their children are exposed to the gospel. Then he said the second most important mission we have in life is to make sure their grandchildren are exposed to the gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Box of Photographs<\/strong> \u2013 This was written for Dave\u2019s first \u201cbaby girl\u2019s\u201d wedding. She and her husband were really in the 5th grade together. The producer of RiverSide, Randy Brown, created an earlier studio version of this before the wedding. The family literally had the sound man ready to hit the [play button] in case Dave couldn\u2019t sing it at the wedding. He made it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Mr. III<\/strong> \u2013 Being \u201cDave Sherman III\u201d Dave often get mail addressed to \u201cMr. III.\u201d Some earlier computers looked at the suffix as a name and sometimes printed it \u201cMr. Dave Iii.\u201d He actually received the Publisher\u2019s Clearinghouse announcement addressed to Mr. Iii. This song describes that tale and his response to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Haley<\/strong> \u2013 This was written for a special \u201clady.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Squirrel Song<\/strong> \u2013 This is a fun 1-minute song written for Habitat for Humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. A Baby Boy A King<\/strong> \u2013 This is the most amazing thing about Christmas to Dave. To him, it seems the Savior would be born into royalty and have power and influence immediately. The opposite condition was God\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musician on RiverSide include Mershell Sherman of Florida on percussion, Dirje Smith on cello, and Matt Menefee of Cadillac Sky on banjo. Randy Brown plays mandolin, high-strung guitar, farm implements on Gold Rush, and a few things he could not disclose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
