I've spent time in Mexico. My memories were jogged when the Denton Songwriters' Guild picked the "Long Road" as a subject to write about.

Born in the 50s, I remember the 60s quite well.

A song about the joys of motorcycling.

I averaged one death a week of friends and family in August 2016. This is named after one, a young musician who committed suicide. I didn't want to write it, but it was the only way to get it out of my head.

A slide piece about my heart, which has been stepped on so many times it looks like a cracker someone dropped on the floor.

A slide piece in Open C.

A slide piece in Open C.

It's an old song I wrote several years ago. One of several that I've been experimenting with in open C.

A slide guitar tune I'd written years ago. Liked the concept, but not the sound. I rearranged it in open C.

Short blues piece with a little harmonica thrown in.

The title sort of says it all.

Tribute to an old girlfriend.

A native Texan, it is about the radical changes that have come to the state since I was a kid.

Don't know where this one came from. I think it's a compilation of all my heartbreaks.

One of those misspent youth songs.

Simple piece about a broken heart.

I have a CDL. Seems like I'm always going places but not getting anywhere.

It's about Cliven Bundy, the Nevada Rancher who the feds unsuccessfully tried to kick off of state land. In America the Federal Government is limited to land it can control. State land belongs to the people of that state.

Simple three-chord piece in open Eb. Basically about some great memories.

I was listening to a country station one day and a song titled, "The Same Old Bull," played. A catchy tune about the problems of a rodeo cowboy. It dawned on me that, though I never got into the cowboy stuff here in Texas, I still like rodeo songs.

I think the inspiration for this piece might have been one of the many girls who've walked out on me.
