Historical Notes

Have you ever gazed upon an old, abandoned house, getting close to falling over, and wondered what that house would say if it could talk? Have you ever wondered what dreams and memories that old house might harbor? So have I. That's why I wrote this song.

Tears of an Old House

A song about my home in Bear Canyon, Montana, seven miles from Bozeman

Bear Canyon Montana

A fine song I learned from Chris LeDoux, a song that speaks straight to the heart of a fellow country boy.

No Place For A Country Boy

Some songs simply need no introduction. I only wish I knew who to credit for this adorable photo.

Some Friends

In January 2022, my friend John A. Wagner past from the paradise of Sand Wash Basin, Colorado, to a land where horses will always run wild and free, unthreatened by overpopulation, starvation, disease or mankind. Somewhere in the vast land of Sand Wash Basin, the great pinto stallion Picasso also lay to rest. This song is for the two of them.

Spirit Of The Basin

This song was written off the inspiration of a dream where I woke up hearing the chorus, having no idea what the song would be about other than what a strange, sweet dream had given me--he memory of an uncle I dearly loved in that dream. Uncle Ever is not a real person.

The photograph I'm using is of a WWII pilot named Don Blakeslee.

Uncle Ever

Any red-blooded American will get this song. You just-don't-dis-the-Duke!

She Don't Like John Wayne

My mother and father became estranged from each other when I was eleven years old and my little brother was seven, and they divorced when I was twelve. Daddy left, never to return, and our mother had all she could do providing for five children by working at the factory. I was all the father my brother and four-year-old sister had.

My Little Boy

One tragic tale out of millions, the tale of a young man's life cut short by war.

Dying Of His Dreams

You're Gone For Good

A song of wonderful love, lost to the same destiny that brought it. This is recorded with an alternative melody. I'm curious to see which one is the favorite, and I feel like the first one was too close to my most recent song before this.

You're  Gone For Good

Montana Was There

Snowing On Idaho

A song for my granddaughter, Emery, who was born with a heart condition, had her heart operated on at 3 days old, her vocal chords nicked, and then had to have a tracheostomy for almost two years because of that doctor's careless mistake. But if this hadn't happened, we would never have had those 38 days in Primary Children's hospital with her and would never have developed this depth of feelings we have for this little angel. So praise God and a doctor's mistake.

Emery's Song

This is a poem by wonderful cowboy poet Ken Howry, put to a melody by me.

Do You Think About Wyoming? (KEN HOWRY POEM set to music)

My personal salute to our flag, and our country

Star Spangled Banner

A song inspired by a shocking letter I received from my long-time friend from the police department, that friend you think will always be around.

Goodbye My Friend

No matter what else you may find me doing, I will be on the back of a horse until the day I die ... and, I pray, even beyond.

I'll Ride Until I Die

I can only say that it was time to write a new song--this one about a cowboy who has been gone for far too long from the ranch he called home.

I Can't Go Home

My tribute to the old Alexander house, and all those beautiful old houses out there that once were someone's dream
