Hi Bjornar,
I enjoyed listening to all the songs on your new CD "True Blue Cowboy". I especially liked "Don't Turn Out The Lights", "Slow Train Home", and my favorite was "I Could Have Been With Her Tonight", (Wait!!! I think I wrote that one!). Thanks for recording my song and best of luck with the new CD. I especially want to hear it when I'm driving down the road and listening to the Norwegian Country Music station on my satellite radio. Best wishes.
Your pal,
Marc Alan Abrams
