Artist picture
Sometimes it's just me and my computer, with me switching off on guitar and electronic keyboard. At other times, there is someone else who plays rhythm guitar and sings. On my recordings, I have been playing or programming my own backup tracks since about 1990. It is nice having my own studio, because sometimes I also produce recordings for other artists, and play or program backup tracks for those who live too far away to record at my studio. I hope to record some more new songs in the near future. I sincerely thank all the DJ's overseas and on the Internet who have been supporting me and other independent artists in a world where major mainstream airplay is getting harder to find without a major label promoting your music. I have some great memories from my years in this business. In 1975, just months before I moved to Canada, I spent some time on the road as lead guitarist for Becki Bluefield. Some of the great songs she has written or co-written over the years include Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man (Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn), Duty, Not Desire (Jeannie C. Riley), and her patriotic America Will Always Stand (Randy Travis, 2001). Canadian fans will remember a lady I worked with in 1976, the late great Marg Osburne. Marg was one of the stars of Don Messer's Jubilee, one of the most popular TV shows in Canadian history. The Jubilee was said to be the only show on television with higher ratings at the time than Hockey Night in Canada, and was on the air until Don Messer's passing in 1973. In 2007 I had two career highlights. October 19 I opened an Edmonton concert for Canadian troubador Fred Eaglesmith, and on November 24 I played lead guitar behind one of my longtime inspirations, Jack Greene, at his concert at the Rainbow Corral in Wetaskiwin.

Story behind the song
A need for leaders we can trust, and observing how many of the things our leaders do fulfill the more unpleasant prophecies in the Scriptures.
Lyrics
Let's Put Charlie Daniels in the White House Words and Music by Stan Anderson Ever since the day that we call 9/11 We've all stopped to take a second look At the kind of life we're livin' plus all the wars and earthquakes Seems everything is goin' by the Book There's someone in the White House who says that he's a Christian But it's written "Ye shall know them by their fruits" There's still good ole boys today who really love the U. S. A. So let's give those lyin' hypocrites the boot. (Chorus) Let's put Charlie Daniels in the White House And for second spot I nominate ole Merle If we lived by the words of Simple Man and Okie from Muskogee This would be a wonderful world. We don't need no microchip in our right hand or forehead The book of Revelation says it's wrong I love my country, but not as much as I love my salvation And there's things with which I cannot go along Apart from that, the President projects a good-guy image I don't think he's had any extra lovers But if he's so honest, why don't he come out and tell us He was once in business with Bin Laden's brother And what about the plane crash that killed Salem bin Laden In '88 in that field near San Antone Instead of fightin' with Iraq, we better win this country back To the Lord, and I know the man to get it done. (Repeat Chorus) If we lived by the words of Simple Man and Okie from Muskogee This would be a wonderful world. This would be a wonderful world. So let's put Charlie Daniels in the White House!
