When The Real World Collides With Mine by R. Gordon and K. Hagan copyright 2007

Dead Man's Shoes

A guitar instrumental I wrote in the mid 1980's and recorded for a company that builds guitar effects called ToadWorks. I used a few of their pedals for this and The Death Rattle Rumbas, and ToadWorks posted them on their website. This happened in the early 2000's. I was one of their first endorsees and they make some great sounding pedals. I still use several of them to this day, including the bad boy distortion pedal on Meltdown, called the DeathRattle Twin Distortion. It's also used on all three versions of The DeathRattle Rumbas.

An acoustic guitar instrumental I wrote and recorded at home in Nashville, when I was asked for some instrumental music to be played on NPR. This was in 2001. I'm still waiting to hear it on NPR:)

Delbert's Bounce

Houston Town, written with my dear friend and musical hero, the Late, Great Walter Hyatt, was my first Nashville co-write and has been recorded by a number of fine artists. This is my acoustic guitar and vocals demo,with Steve Beasley adding bass, drums, keys, a high and low vocal harmony. Steve Beasley is amazing and wrote some of my favorite songs.

A Diana Krall style song.

When I Was More Than Just Your Friend by R. Gordon and T. Lenartz (c)

A song that doesn't flinch lyrically from the extremely difficult life that many American live through. A Blues song that doesn't conform to a 12 bar arrangement and is quite vivid in telling its story.
