It's nice to establish a 'friend'ship with friends and people you've admired over the years even though some are no longer around. I'm sure as you look through my 'friends' base you'll find some you may not even have been aware of and I hope you'll want to be my 'friend' too!----------------------------

I've been writing since the mid '90's and want to share a few songs I've written and cowritten over the years. The first song I had recorded was in VIENNA,
AUSTRIA called "THE KITCHEN COWBOY" written by me and my former guitar instructor WILLIE HUDSON. My friend DICKY MINOR, sang it. I'll be changing things around from time to time.-----------------------------------------

I want to highlight an artist I'm currently writing with that will soon be releasing a new cd with a label out of LA. His name is GARY LEE MICHAEL and he was on stage in the early 90's with GARTH BROOKS, RANDY TRAVIS & others and had 3 charted singles before a near-fatal car accident. Please check him out at his sites:-----------WWW.GARYLEEMICHAEL.COM---------------------

For those fans of YODELING-----You've got to hear JERRY HANLON on----------
"CASTING MY LASSO" . I had nothing to do with the song, other than loving to hear it, but Jerry recorded 3 of my songs on "HELLO MR HEARTACHE" CD which has that song on it. Check it out on his 'FRIEND' page below. See Jerry Hanlon's picture and the album cover in my pics--------------------------------------------------------

-Please check out MARTY VANDERLIP'S page. He's been kind enough to sing a couple of songs Gary Lee Michael and I have written, on his myspace page. He's the 2007 winner of GIMME THE MIKE CHARLOTTE .-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------Austin Roberts is a great songwriter and I had the privilege to spend a little time with him a few years ago. He's the reason Gary Lee Michael and I got together and started cowriting. He is a writer on some great hits like, YOU LIE/REBA, IOU/LEE GREENWOOD,
and others but he was also an artist back in the 70's with some pretty cool hits. Please check out ROCKY & SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH ME on my blogs
There's not enough room here to list Austin's credits and accomplishments because they are many but I wanted to share a little bit of AUSTIN ROBERTS with you.
