Subject: RE: Throw Another Log on the Fire??
Actually, Bseed, Tompall Glaser (correct spelling) was part of the original Outlaws movement as portrayed on the album of the same name with Waylon, Willie, and Jesse Colter (Waylon's wife). Kris Kristoferson was not a part of that scene at that time but was associated with Waylon, Willie, and Johnny Cash about a decade later as a member of the group known as the Highwaymen.

Tompall Glaser and his brothers Jim and Chuck performed for years as the Glaser Brothers specializing in tight harmonies. They were also known for doing back-up vocals on many Marty Robbins records.

Put another Log on the Fire was written by Shel silverstein but was a hit by Tompall Glaser. The song was included in the aforementioned Outlaws album, which was the first album in the history of country music to go certified platinum.
