BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain  has been a favorite song of mine all through the years.   So when I was looking for songs to record, I decided this was to be one. I did the melody then went back and did the harmony.   I did get good airplay throughout the country so that was nice.   But at the same time I had my record out, an artist in Florida had his out.   He had a very nice rendition of Blue Eyes but it was frustrating the same song was out at the same time..I would  think he was maybe as frustrated as I was.. Then a year later, Willie Nelson had his Blue Eyes out on record.
I recorded  Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain at Wiley Recording Studio in Tacoma, WA with Bill Wiley at the board//console.  Speedy Price was on the steel guitar again.... I had had  the arrangement in my head for a long time so it was fun to hear it take shape.       Blue Eyes is still one of my favorite songs and I guess it  will always be..

CATCH A LITTLE MOONBEAM

One day when I was listening to rock and roll on the radio,  I thought, "How hard can it be to write a rock and roll song?"   So I started in but  the song soon veered off track..Out came Catch A Little Moonbeam..It was certainly not rock and roll....I guess it is more of a lullabye...When I was recording it, (Ripcord Studio in Vancouver, Washington),  Gary Sharer did the piano..  When he finished the piano part he asked  if he could go back and try a harmony...He did and it turned out  great..I applaud his piano artistry...So, that was my only  try at rock and roll...  I realized my heart beats more in three-quarter time or there abouts so will stick to that...
