When Jay Mack first heard, "Captain," it was 2022, and the song was still incomplete. I initially sent him a rough draft of what Erich and I had recorded up to that point. Once he had the rough cut in his possession, he pressed me for a third verse as often as he could. I assured him I was working on one. He said, "Let me know when it's all done, I got an idea for it!"

Fast forward to 2024 and you get to witness that very concept from Jay, brought to life, in the manner in which he envisioned it. When him and Timmy Sramowitz sent me the image they were going to paint, I was speechless.

I had to reach out to Jimmy Giambrone, so he could capture this creative process at the Mural Maker studio in Toms River, NJ. Having Slimbo on set to shoot and edit this video was a must for all of us. His style of cinematography sets the scene like no other.

The mix-mastering Champ, Matty Horant, popped in to rhyme a few of his favorite scriptures. He plays a vital part of the masterpiece. He has mastered every song of ours for the past decade, not just this one. Here's a brother/audio engineer who's not in the spotlight or even out for the shine, yet keeps the vocals and instruments radio ready every time.

The day Erich 'Off The' Wald tailored the instrumental bed as I recorded the third verse was an unforgettable session. The additional chords he implemented. The organ. The dropouts. Everything fell into place/play perfectly, and we just knew we had something special. Those were the final adjustments made before the Field Day album was bounced/sent off for digital release/physical manufacturing.

This video is such a tremendous blessing to be able to present. To collaborate with Jay Mack and Timmy is a dream come true. To glorify the one Who gave us all of our talents and got us through ... that's just giving the credit where all the credit is due.

Did you know? Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visited Kansas City, KS in 1968 and was met by local leaders from Progress Incorporated (shown here)

Dr. King left a legacy of love and justice, impacting the lives of so many... beyond #mlkday2021, we cherish this memory shared from Mr. Chester Owens, pictured in the 1st row, 3rd from the left. Mr. Owens is advising our historical mural project for Kansas City Kansas Community College this year, and reminds us of lessons from the past that make up the microcosm of our community today.
