RED: HomeGrown
Alt.alt.country. An organically produced original Texas
Jewboy, and co-writer with Billy Joe Shaver and Kinky, with "no Hollywood arrangers
or Nashville producers to take what is great and make it good"- Kinky Friedman.

Every once in a while somebody'll come along and remind me that money can't buy love or admiration, that no amount of fame is worth the recognition that comes from work well done. Thanks Tim. Red
