Thanks to Brad Posey on FM 89.3, Public Radio, from the University of Alabama Huntsville, for playing "Good Time" and "Every Day Is Halloween" on his show, The Invisible City. Brad airs Friday evenings at 8 and again on Saturday at 10. Brad and I have discussed doing and interview and live set in his studio. Hopefully, a date will be announced as soon as possible.
CD demos are free as possible. Email or call.
Finally, received U. S. Library of Congress copyright registrations. The estimated wait time was 6 months, it took 14.
Thanks, but no thanks, to Hilltop Records for an offer to submit.

Might be a while 'til we pass this way again
Come back in style, call the world a friend
Look inside, see conditions we're in
Highballin' on the railroad line
Freefallin' and feeling fine
Listen to the whistle blowing again
All the live long day, everywhere we've been
Highballin'
Deadheads die, enginemen pull the load
Brakemen flag, passengers come and go
World outside, fine fix it's in
Highballin' on the railroad line
Freefallin' and feeling fine
Hear that conductor calling again
Says there's a station up around the bend
Highballin'
Chorus Highballin, going clickity-clack
Wheels squallin' on a rusty track
No stallin', we're ballin' a jack
Hobos callin', "Ya'll come back"
One way that we get off this train alive
Gotta ride all night to find another way to survive
Blow off a doob' any town we're in
Highballin' on the railroad line
Freefallin' and feeling fine
Throwing all caution to the wind
But I sure do hope to come back here now and then
Highballin'
Chorus
