I bought one of Richs CDs. Its a mistake to call his music just "country" or just "western". Hes got a lot of cool guitar rifts in his music and I would generally give him high marks for originality. This man has an awful lot of talent.

That's some of the nicest words I've recieved regarding my music, Rich46yo. Thanks.  I have to give a lot of credit to the studio that produce my background tracks for me, The Blue Spot Studio, just outside Nashville.  It's been a great colaborative effort on the album.  Look for a new song from me to be released in a day or two.  I'll announce it here, so you can go to www.myspace.com/richowen61 to listen to it.  And thanks again for the votes!  You guys ROCK!!! :rock

Sabre.. voted again. Here's a tune I'd like to hear you do..

could use a bit of countrification.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mGQrjNeTNQ


Well, I live on a ridgetop
And, Lord knows, I like it just fine
Where it's windy and foggy
And quiet most all the time

Yeah, my lawn is pine needles
And my driveway is old funky dirt
And my front pathway markers
Are pieces of granite and chert

Now, my taxes are high
But I don't believe it's a sin
I've got hundred foot pine trees
That just love to dance in the wind

And a yard full of bushes
That turn into pie in July
Between blue jays and hoot owls
I've got twenty-four hour singing sky

Now, when I built my house
I cut six trees to clear out the land
But there's thirty or more left
And you know that they're gonna stand

It's a squirrel sanctuary
They think this woods is their home
And as long as I'm here
I'll make sure people leave us all alone

Yes, the hill that I live on is steep
And the road's full of ruts
And the people who live in the flatlands
Think we folks are nuts

But the ruts in my road and the curves
Keep the tourists at bay
And it's lonesome and peaceful
And you know I like it that way

Now, I work in the city
I think my job is a gas
And I know it's good for me
To travel and get off my ass

But the nervous parts of each trip
Is the Golden Gate Bridge
And the road like a snake
That will lead me back home to my ridge

Ah, I live on a ridgetop
Yes, I live on a ridgetop
And I like it
And I like it . . .

Thanks, Hangtime.  Good song.  Wouldn't take much to push it over the line into a true country song. :salute

I voted again. Does anyone else here besides me become terribly, terribly annoyed that those names are listed alphabetically by first name instead of last name?

nope.. by the third name, my brain switches gears.

Ma.. methinks you got way too many years scanning duty rosters and DA forms.

Vote X 4 PCs again.
Unfortunately the other 28 PCs in my lab run through the same server and therefore use the same IP and can't vote.

Just a little "thank you" for helping out this week.  We managed to move up from #11 to #10. The climb gets stepper near the top :).  I'll be putting out another call for help to try to push it up some more, and thank you for your support and patience.  You guys are tops!

Congrats on a Top 10 song!

Do you know which markets it's playing in?  It sounds perfect for KFWR 95.9 The Ranch in Ft. Worth. They cater towards writer/singers.

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

It's been going out to a lot of places, so I don't know if your station is one of them.  However, if you send the a request and link my site (www.myspace.com/richowen61) I'll be happy to send them an Mp3 of the song (or any other of my songs :) ).  Thanks.
