To those who will enjoy it most, this song hardly needs any introduction. The only thing I can say is that this is a very old, "extended version" of the song, from the 1800s.

Oh Shenandoah

A song written originally for my 2005-2006 novels, Disciples of the Wind and Reapers of the Wind, the tale of Jacob West's little lost Cajun love.

BELLE OF THE BAYOU

The story of my own life, looking back at all the sometimes reckless and often "heroic" things I used to do, both for fun and for a living.

I USED TO DO THAT

One cowboy's view of the first snow falling on Haystack Mountain, not far from Pocatello, Idaho. One of my few Christmas songs, praying for snow to cover Haystack Mountain at Christmas.

Snow on the Haystack

KAW-LIGA

A mellow love song; a tribute to that "perfect one"

You're the Best Thing (That Ever Happened to Me)

"I Miss You Missing Me" is the melancholy song of a man who has lost his only true love and aches remembering a time when she used to miss him.

I Miss You Missing Me

A man's ode to the wonderful state of Idaho!

Cry Idaho

From the gray wolf's viewpoint, what happened to his West when his game animals started being replaced by sheep and cattle

El Lobo

My pal Brian Howell was a true cowboy, one of the last of the breed. Although sickness took him when he was still very young, I still see him riding the Idaho cattle ranges. This is my tribute to Brian and his family.
Ride on, cowboy!

Cowboy Ride On

My tribute to the greatest true cowboy who ever hit the airwaves, Chris LeDoux, 1976 Bareback Bronc riding champion, husband, father, and our friend. It was Chris who got me playing the guitar, and Chris who encouraged me to continue. He will be forever missed.

Chris LeDoux's Ghost

Former cop, retired city firefighter, author of forty novels, recording artist of 213 songs ... so far. I have a long way yet to go!
