Thanks for the kind words! Man, you made our night @ the Bluebird that night. You TORE it UP! I followed your link on your business card to this site. And they accepted me too! Guess they accept wanna be's here...LOL!
Hope to play with you again. :) That was definitely my definition of fun!

Hi Dan! Thanks for adding me as a friend. I am new to the site and have so much to explore. Your music sounds great! Looks like you have alot going for you in the biz! I look forward to listening to more of your music and production. God Bless! Tammy
Hi Dan. With what seems to be a return of actual Cowboy/ Western music I am getting some radio play again on these songs. Folks can hear about another 20 or so on youtube at Pointmaxmusic Kevin Dunn.
If you remember the Cowsills? Billy Cowsill and I recorded a number of Country and also some Western songs before his death a few years ago. Billy and his vocal group usually sang backing to my lead on these cowboy things. I have a whole bunch of new gunfighter ballads and cowboy type stuff written. Good real people backing singers for these are hard to find, especially in Canada.
What I'm wondering is, is it getting easier to find backing for these projects now that there is a bit of a resurgence in listening.
