Uncle John said… Cris,
I like most of your stuff and quite a lot. I just love 'Had Me A Girl.' I am learning that one today and hope to play it Friday at open mike night.
Cris, there are hundreds of excellent player/singer/performers who never reach mainstream stardom. But I hope you are one that reaches it and still has a happy life. Good on ya little bro.
John
