About four. "Nuthin' Honey" " The Holy River" "bouquet of Roses" and "You Never Got to Sing My Songs" These are on my acoustic series, "Guitar Songs Vol.4 "You Never Got To Sing My Songs." These are not cover songs. They're 20 of my own songs to show how I was influenced by Miller.
Wow, great song! I discovered it through Pandora when listening to my Roger Miller station. I must admit, you have talent! Do you tour the country at all? Where are you located?How did you start yodeling?
Thanks. I didn't realize that Pandora was still broadcasting some of my songs. I wrote this song back in '78 and recorded it sometime in the mid-1980s. Look in the "more Info" for links to my [freewebs] a detailed biography & discography.
I'm going to look up some of your other songs on Pandora. Question, when you did your tribute to Roger Miller, why didn't you sing "Hard Headed Me" or his classic "King of the Road"?
