I've been in the entertainment busines...in some form or fashion...for many years. I got into music purely by accident and ended up fronting a band out of Austin in '96. I struck out on my own in '98 and have, through those years, assembled a group of stellar players that have the same drive to produce a high quality "show" each time we play...rather than a standard "bar band" type situation. One of the highest compliments that we have ever received was when we were told it was more like a "concert" than just a "dance". I firmly believe that the folks that pay money to get in the door of a venue that we are playing deserve to get every penny of their money back, with a little extra, in the form of great music and ENTERTAINMENT! I feel as though as long as we keep that focus we will continue to be sucessful as a group.

Story behind the song
Here's a tune that was written by myself and, my guitar player, Odie Hodges. I came up with the premise for the song...a rockin' kinda train beat thing that folks here in Texas could polka to. The story is pretty much self explanatory. It tells ya why it is that we do what we do in this crazy biz called music...enjoy! Recorded January 3-4, 2004 Rosewood Studios -- Tyler, Texas Produced/Engineered by Greg Hunt and Gary Leach Musicians: Drums - Marty Arbter Bass Guitar - Shayne Morrison Acoustic Guitar - Steve Murray Lead Guitar - Chad Ware Piano/Organ - Gary Leach Steel/Fiddle/Mandolin - Milo Deering Background Vocals - Gary Leach
