I do, Art. Kendall and Jacqui have been working on it too, from the beginning. It's called "Singing Through the Hard Times," and I'm very hopeful it will be out before long - we're pushing to get it out as soon as possible. I've spent the last several days working on the liner notes. It's going to be a wonderful collection, with several Mudcatters involved.

That said, these things are always subject to big delays, so I'm hesitant to start naming dates right now. I should have better information to give everyone within a couple of weeks, including ()I hope) a solid release date!

Gordon Bok sang the Goodnight Loving Trail last weekend. That alone will be worth the price of the CD. Shivers up and down the spine time.

Sorcha, I really appreciate your willingness to help with this, but it's a personal thing. Utah was a close friend, almost family.

In keeping with that spirit, let's start a new thread when we have CD information. I kind of feel like this thread is about a very personal memorial from Kendall to his friend.

And a beautiful, fitting memorial it is, too.

Dan,
Thanks for the info. I was hoping to give it for Dec. 25th gifts--but...

Thanks to everyone who is making these CDs happen. And thanks for including one of my songs. I do realize the difficult work hat goes into a production of this sort.
