Doing the tedious task of compiling audio and lyrics to co-writes I have done. I am up to 72, but I feel I may be missing some. If we have co-written, please send a private message or email with a list of what we've done. I am getting senile. :-)
Thanks!

Still have a few of these CD's left. Just message me or Colin Henry if you would like a copy. Thanks!!

Has been a great year for the music. A tour of Ireland with Colin Henry and John Gleeson. A lot of co-writing and a few cuts. AND Johnny Gleeson coming for his third visit early October.

Gillian Tuite and I writing our third. Started writing with Jeremy Garrett.

Brent Moyer, Bob Tobin Sr. have the title cut on the forthcoming Larry Sparks album. Missy Raines cut "Listen to the Lonesome Wind" on her last album and Redwine Bluegrass Band from Italy cut a song Troy Engle and I wrote. "The Fields"

Now the tedious task of updating the website and updating my files on co-writers. Ugh...almost as bad as doing taxes.
