'Lotta folks have said I shourd write a book.  Books don't sell. So... I finally figured it out 'n cut a CD.

I was gonna post a photo... but some kind'a 'malware' (from here) shut my 'puter down when i attempted that... so no photo.

 

Ennyhoo... 'got excellent reviews during my first 'live' gig in Van Horn, TX (Feb 5-7 '10) 'n sold a few there.  That makes me a 'cowboy poet'  for real. I can't afford to give 'em away... 'n being the shameless capitalist that I am... I'm sellin' 'em for $16.00 ea (includes freight).  Run time on the CD is about 52 minutes.  They come in their own 'jewel case... with the covers 'n all that. I'll even autograph 'em if ya want. : )  I'll take checks or Paypal.

Actually... this seems to have gone over like a lead balloon on here. Not a nibble. This CD ain't junk... but it's kind'a frustratin' 'cause a few folks said they'd be interested. 'Guess not.

if you call the gift shop at the--- cowboy hall of fame --- in oklahoma city phone number is (405) 478-2250 talk to them they may want to sell your cd there its worth a try
Bob: That's the best news I've heard all day! Old Tuscon's a ways from me... but I can get there. Dunno where 'Big Papa's is... but I'll google that.
Reb; My check will be in the mail headed your way coming this Monday. Save a copy for me. Looking forward to hearing it. I'm wondering how a 20 year Navy Vet ended up retiring in the Sonoran Desert. You had to drag that anchor pretty far from the ocean. That brings up the question--What use is an anchor to a Cowboy?
Well, I tell it this way... I started walkin' inland with an oar over my shoulder. When the first person asked: "Whatinhellizzat?" I planted that oar 'n put up my tent. If that ain't the truth... it ought'a been.

I've written a couple of poems that addresses all that... 'Cowboy Attitude' is one of 'em... followed by 'The Joint'. Send me an e-mail... megashifter46re@msn.com 'n I'll verify the address for ya.
Reb; I've read some of your poems in black and white a time or two.Now hearing your spoken verse well...you bring the Old West alive for all to enjoy. In each track you tell a great story spiced with Historical fact and paint a vivid picture that takes one back in time.
You did an excellent job Reb. This CD will always be in my saddlebag. I highly recommend it.
Thanx for the nice review. It's a bit much to claim ya have the voice for it w/o the proof. 'Been told I do have the voice for it by those who've been at if for over 30 years. Glad you enjoyed it. : )
What ya got?

Well yeah old skutter; I see where you turned out a DVD. So is it still available, Now then tell me this I hope you don't have a New Your Brogue about yeah; It sure wouldn't sound quite correct if that were the case! I being also a turned loose from this mans Navy, with a flying background VR-1, and also turned inland, let me know how it is with yeah, and how do I turn a chit, for a copy!!

 

Hey Reb

George here.  I want one, how do I paypal ya the federal green stamps for one.  Let me know and I'll giterdone.
