A Salute to Our Veterans
Shawna Corder asked me to help finish a song she started, inspired by a friend in the military. We recorded it this week, and then played it on T-100.3 hd Radio live in the studio. So much fun hanging with Wild Walley! If you enjoy the recorded version here on YouTube, please consider donating to one of the highly rated groups we mention there.

Looking forward to finishing this song, and writing more together.
Thanks for welcoming me into the tune with ya, Shawna!
My New MSA Pedal Steel Guitar!
Pedal Steels are a rare commodity. I’ve spent 36 years playing them, had 3, but only bought one for myself – 21 years ago. I’m lucky to have a loving wife who indulged me this custom amazing instrument. I longed for an instrument of the finest craftsmanship, mechanical ability and repeatability, and capable of the tones I want to make. Art is subjective, but for this artist, I couldn’t be happier with my new brush. I can’t wait to get to know her better. Thank you Kyle, Mitchell, and the whole MSA Steel Guitars team. It was worth every penny and day waited.
