Hello. My name is Chris, and I have a problem.
I’ve recorded bluegrass and country songs. Please forgive me.

Greg and yarbiedoll visited again so we recorded a song. This is the first time for each of us to record with these instruments. We had a lot of fun playing and recording. I think we played this tune about 83.6 times. The .6 time was when we couldn't stop laughing and only got a little more than half the song correct.

This was another song my brother and I recorded. I really like the emotions this song gives off. I imagine a well worn cowboy out on the plains with a bottle of whiskey in his hand and hatred in his heart. As he is sitting there the sky comes on fire and a stamped of Hell's bulls comes flying down from the clouds. There are a few lost soul cowboys trying to control the heard, but they aren't doing a good job. One looks down and warns the mortal cowboy to change his ways.

I like to think that the mortal cowboy does change his ways. He goes insane and drinks more because he is terrified of the visions he had out on the plain. The next time he goes into town he starts butchering the people, starting with the women and childrne. Eventually another empty soul cowboy shows up and shoots him in the back, leading to a slow and painful death.

Greg and I recorded this song a while ago. I'm pretty sure it was before the great Johnny Cash died. It was a live take. We just set up the recorder and played.

The first time I remember hearing this song was on a video game comercial. It was for some fighting game like Mortal Combat. They were playing the song in the background as ome alien was beating the crap out of something. It was totally sweet.

I also like the song because it talks about fire. Fire is cool.
