Boots Too Big to Fill:
A Tribute to Gene Autry
Label: Rainy Day Records
Some of the greatest names in music have come together to celebrate
Gene Autry's 100th birthday with this special tribute album.
Recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles by artists who grew up admiring Gene,
and a few who even knew the Cowboy personally, Boots Too Big To Fill
highlights songs that Gene wrote, made into big hits, and ones he featured
in his movies, radio shows, and TV series. Rather than re-create the songs
the way Gene performed them, the producers let each song tell them
how it wanted to be sung and played by these world-class artists and
musicians of today.

PLUS many many more.......... Those who have
struck a creative nerve in my heart with their music
have all had a huge influence in my life!!
It was in rural northeast Oklahoma with clear creeks and pastures of livestock that Charlotte Autry first fell in love… not with a person, but with ‘something’ that moved her to the core of her soul… and she would never be the same again. That ‘something’ was the sound of country music, and she would be so smitten with the connection that it made in her heart that it would become her lifelong pursuit to write and sing the songs that would touch other people like she had been touched.

Stay till the morning Burns your eyes, Stay till the lies Find their demise, Stay till remorse Drifts 'way 'pon the tide, Stay my sweet lady Come lay by my side.
Thy breaths be as the rushing waves Billows of stifled delight, Eyes that capture, engulf and enslave Unto this night let our passions ignite.
Stay till the morning Attests to the fire, Stay till the hunger Taunts all desire, Stay till thy body Screams from thy core, Stay my sweet lady All sins we'll explore.
Like puppets slumped, unfettered by chains Crumpled, expended and worn, Bodies depleted reach out in vain And pray for the promise of another morn.
Live like today is the Last time you smile for Tomorrow is uncertain. Work not for thy self But for the children of Tomorrow's birth. Laugh at little things And find joy in the Simple things created. Watching a child smile Is worth more than all the Assets of a rich man. A butterfly resting her wings Upon the petal of a flower Is more beautiful than gold. The answer most people Cannot find to a happy Life is simplicity. Always Wayne
Dear Charlotte Autry, It's after Halloween and the busy holidays are approaching. Take a break and drop by to listen to my featured songs. You may find my music to be just the calm you need during this hectic time of the year. I appreciate your friendship and I hope you enjoy the music. I wish you much joy and peace.
Charlotte, THIS IS IT, I have ONE LAST favor to ask you about this, could I? Since, as you might’ve heard, my picture won at the monthly level & Round 1, I got nominated for the LongHair Hawtie of the Year Finals (!) that ends today 7pm New York Time (can you just get it done now?) and... - was hoping for those 6 votes from you ;)
Yeah, you do need to get accepted as a friend of www.MySpace.com/OfficialLongHairHawties before you can vote, but they’re nice girls (the hawtie folks), no harm whatsoever :)
PS. since it would be so cool to win ‘by a landslide’ of like 7-800+ votes OVER and ABOVE over #2 guy (who will give us run for the money, he’s done that before!) - so, an 'evil' thought - maybe you can tell your friends to vote too? ;) Could you ask around?
