The Nanny Story

It started with a coyote. It turned into songs. Watch them in order — they tell the whole tale.

1. "Nanny, Are You OK?"

Based on a true story. A rabid coyote picked the wrong yard — and the wrong lady. The gnomes were witnesses.

"She can weld a gate and bake a pie, she's tough as oak and grace..."

2. "Nanny, You're OK"

Sent to Nanny's hospital room, from her other baby boy. The coyote didn't get her — and this wouldn't either.

"You're the toughest mother-in-law a guy could ever need."

3. "Borrow Some of Mine"

Two voices, two sides of the same room, holding the same hope.

"When your strength can't reach the place your heart is trying to find, you can lean a little closer and borrow some of mine."

Songs Nobody's Ever Heard

Made for friends, never released. Nanny, you're in a very exclusive audience.

"Salt & Aftershave"

For a friend, about days on the water with his dad.

"Be a gentleman, you'd say — on the high road, all the way."

"Miles Out"

The companion song. Same boat, same man, same lessons.

"I didn't know I was learning — I just knew I was alive."

"Fifty with You"

A 50th birthday song for a friend who bleeds Carolina blue.

"Fifty looks a whole lot better on this side."
Pending — Jimmie's note: confirm before launch

"Raise the Flag"

About a man, a mailbox, and the quiet way help travels.

"God had always taken care of things — Daddy just helped the mail along."
