From the recording Back to the Bayou
Sitting on my bed with Petey (the pup in the boat with Jimmy on the CD cover) and my cat, Tweek, thinking about my life: I had a beautiful girlfriend (now wife, Nicole), 2 great dogs, and a cool cat. Even though Nicole wasn't with me, knowing I had her and my pets, I thought, "I'm alright". -- Jimmy Maraventano, Jr.
