When I was 22 a young lawyer took one of my songs and put it on the ‘B' side of his recording of Ave Maria. He invited me to watch the recording session at Criteria in Miami, Florida. Since that moment all I have ever wanted was to have my music recorded by professional musicians and sung by established artists. This truly is a monumental task as I do not perform live so I have recorded my own material as a means to get exposure and as a way for artists to be able to judge the “cover” worth of my songs. I am looking for a publishing deal. Contact Info: Jim Blachura C/O Stablesongs Phone: 336 995 0813 E Mail: saintlymanmusic@yahoo.com Saintly Man Music /ASCAP

Lyrics
Rio Grande Have you ever been out on the Rio Grande? Away Rio It’s there that the river runs down golden sand And we’re bound for the Rio Grande CH Away boys away Away Rio So fare ye well my bonny young girl And we’re bound for the Rio Grande It’s pack up your sea chest and get under way Away Rio The girls we are leaving can take half our pay And we’re bound for the Rio Grande CH Oh the anchor is weighed and the sails they are set Away Rio The maidens we’re leaving we’ll never forget And we’re bound for the Rio Grande CH Sing good bye to Sally and sue Away Rio And all who are listening, it’s good bye to you And we’re bound for the Rio Grande
