HEY! ~ Everyone! Hope this letter finds you and yours in good health and spirits today and getting along with your end of the year plans to start a new and hopefully a better one if that be the case.

This time around, I'd like to share a cover song by Lionel Richie called "Stuck On You" back when it first came out that we did on the 'Panty Power' tour in '85 thru '87 sponsored by Miller Lite/Pepsi...to slow it down from the last News Letter that rocked it out.

It is 'not' available for download, but if you're a mailing list subscriber and reply to this News Letter, I will send you an mp3 copy and any others not available 'Free'...including "Rock 'n Roll Down in Texas" saving you the .99 cents so's not break the bank.

SHOUT OUTS to everyone and Thank You for being here and sharing my music with your friends and Networking with me.

See you in 2 weeks!

PEACE/LOVE & ROCK 'n ROLL!!

Being that Veterans Day was yesterday and has been celebrated all weekend, I thought I'd share this song my nephew and I jam'd on a few years ago called "These Colors Won't Run" in honor of all who have served and are serving as I write this 'ALL' around the World ~ Past, Present and Future.

The lengthy solos was 'my' idea to depict the fighting and butt kickin' going on in conflict as it takes you on a ride through the song.

Thank you for listening and for your time sacrificed if you are a service member Past, or Present who've served to give us the Right to do what we do 'Freely' in this Free Country. ROCK ON!

I'd like to share a traditional Mexican dance song called a "Huapango" that means 'wood stomp'. It originated in the area of Vera Cruz, San Luis Potosi, Hidalgo area with people like my
Great great grandfather (on my mom's side) that came over from Spain and mixed with the indigenous Indian cultures in the 19th Century. We put a little spin on it. I posted Pt.2 on here but you can hear Pt.1 on the list if you like. It's a long song. I hope you enjoy it as much as I had playing it everywhere I toured with La Movida Band from Corpus Christi, Texas.

See you in 2 weeks again ~

PEACE/LOVE & ROCK n' ROLL!!

Hello Everyone, I've been wondering what song to share with you this time around and decided on "Heart of the Beholder" because the first words are 'very' true today in these times we all find ourselves in, in some form or another. "Who's Right, Who's Wrong, why can't we just get along". I co-wrote this song with my very good friend, Angie Monroe. It's the ending song that runs during the credits of the movie "Heart of the Beholder" that came out back in 2005. It's a mix of Gospel, Jazz, Blues and is very lively to groove too, but it also makes a point.

If you'd like a copy of it, just reply to this News Letter and I'll send it to you because it is not available for download.

Take care and be nice to one another

See you in 2 weeks

HEY! ~ Everybody! Hope you're enjoying the start of the Fall season and getting ready for Halloween and stuff like that if you're 'into' it like my kiddos. My grand daughter MJ, 'Loves' this time of year. We bought some 'big' Bat wings for her costume while I was up there a couple weeks ago. Also bought her a new Bass guitar to start learning to play like her grandpa and one of her favorites, Bootsy Collins.

"Practice" kiddo!

It's ALL about the '1' count/down beat...and It's not the machine...it's the operator.

I'd like to share a song I did with a 3 piece group, 'Live' at a club in Dallas by Jimi Hendrix called "Little Wing". It starts off slow and builds up. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved playing on it.

Finally...SHOUT OUTS to all the new mailing list subscribers who've joined the last 2 weeks...tell your friends about it!

See you again in 2 weeks!

PEACE/LOVE & ROCK 'n ROLL!!!
