ROBERT K. OERMANN wrote this about "My Names Ronnie" in music row magazine:
Writer: Phillip David Harris; Producer: Jeff Moore; Publisher: FBNP,
TXN (CD-TEX) (307-272-2593)
"This is a finely crafted, left-field character study wherein the
title subject's grinding poverty leads to his suicide. The acoustic
production is as ear grabbing as the unusual song structure. Admirably different."
GRAMMY AWARD WINNER LESLIE ELLIS WROTE:
"Phillip has a beautiful and strong voice that melts your heart and puts you on edge at the same time. The emotion with which he sings is so genuine you might believe that all his stories (songs) are straight out of his own experiences. And with songs well crafted with double meanings, tough humor and heartbreaking images, he would have to have had a very diverse and colorful life for such a young man! I really loved the chance to sing with him." Leslie Ellis - Grammy Award Winner for backup on Celine Dion Titanic Soundtrack

Hey Dude.....went by and heard Jamies demos. Wow! She sounded great. 1st class all the way. Great tunes. I sent here a friend request and I will leave her a comment later. Talk to you later dude.
Hey Phillip Drew had to put back on the ventilator yesterday. We need to pray that he can take deep breaths and keep his oxygen level up. Also for him to be strong physically, mentally, and emotionally as he learns more about his condition and the uphill battle he is facing. We can only imagine how he is feeling after waking up to find himself in a hospital bed unable to move around and being at the mercy of those caring for him. He is often confused due to the medications and does not understand where he is and what is going on. Pray for peace for Drew.
I hope you have a Fantastic week & thanks again for all your prayers and concern.
Well TGIF, I survived another week lol. I finally got you added to the Special Artists section in case you haven't noticed. ALso added Jamie to the Top Friends section for some exposure. She's great btw.
They took Drew back into surgery. Praying they won't have to amputate anymore. Thanks for all the prayers.
I added her to my friends list and am anxious to hear the new material. Thanks for letting me know.
BTW, a fellow classmate of my sons was injured on a bush hog earlier and lost both of his legs. They are trying to stabilize him now for surgery but he is extremely critical. Please ask your friends and family to remember him in prayer. His name is Drew and he is 17 years old.
Hey Phillip I just thought I would stop in and say hi and hope all is good in your world. I have been busy remodeling my home and then on top of that having computer issues. I hope that is solved now. I have decided to take the rest of the week off to hang by the water. Hope you have a great weekend.
