Fun In a Bottle, A Song About A Victim Of Drunk Driving

Most of you know that I wrote a song about my father's death called Fun In a Bottle. Brooke White sang it for me once, but couldn't permit me to share it over the internet. I recently asked a singer name Sarah to record her rendition of my song for YouTube and she did!

I thought you might enjoy hearing it.



My ultimate goal is to have the song recorded professionally recorded on a cd and used in anti-drunk driving presentations in schools.

Please help me promote this video by taking a moment to DIGG this video if you are on Digg. You can also visit my new blog as well as the new store that I just set up. At the DUI Victims Voice store I am selling t-shirts at cost so that people can share the anti-drunk driving message.

Hillsville Teen Killed

Bethanie Coulson, age 18 was killed. Her mother and brother arrived on the scene. A witness said that her family was really "tore up. Her brother cried for like an hour."

“I was driving down the road and seen stuff in the road,” Edwards said. “Then I saw the headlights in the ditch.”
He helped the victims until rescue crews arrived.


“If I hadn’t come by here, I don’t know when the cops would’ve gotten here, because [the victims] said they had no idea of the name of the road, no idea where they were at,” he said.
