Red is "Ready" for a miracle every day, and welcomes all forms of inspiration. His songs reflect the diverse styles of music he has loved hearing across the course of his half-century of living.

Red's muse goes by various names. When waxing eloquent, Red's muse goes by "Marsha Twain", and holds claim to being related in some ephemeral way to Mark (Samuel C.), the original arbiter of the imponderable deep, the "Twain" himself. At other times, when more modestly helping him stumble through the process of catching emerging lyrics or the chords and melody for a new tune, Red's muse is known simply as "Red Hawkins".

When it comes to his muse, Red don't put no chains on her. He don't try to restrain her, and surely can’t explain her. But he sure does enjoy her company when she shows up. Red applies his best efforts towards expressing the muse through his music. A long time ago he quit worrying that the muse might leave him high and dry, with nothing more to say.

Red hopes you will enjoy hearing the fruits of her labor as much as he enjoys tending the orchard.
