Wonderful Western story song!!! Thumbs UP!!!
Spinning on Saddles & Spurs!!Hello Abe,
I was just checking the charts, and found your Empty Saddles and Old Corrals near one of my own songs. I recognized your name, because I played bass for you once when they used to have Cowboy Church at Cook County Saloon here in Edmonton.
I just listened to both of your songs, and I am glad I did. You are writing as good as ever. Having been one of the many artists who released tributes to Johnny Cash, I must say I think yours is one of the best I have heard.
I hope to catch another performance of yours sometimes. Once in awhile I have seen posters of yours, but it has always been when I am playing somewhere else. I like to think I can do a lot of things, but I can't be in two places at once!
God bless,
Stan AndersonI added "Empty Saddles and Old Corrals" to my station, "Country To The Bone Radio Show" located at http://www.soundclick.com/stations/stations.cfm?id=104708
