Dexter Crockett	Oct 24 2009 4:02 AM Howdy Frank, Added some fine harmonies by Russell Anguiano to "The Cowboy Way". Not a dry eye in the house. The song just keeps rolling along and growing and I can't quit it. Must be love. Also completely rewrote and re-recorded "Water". Guess I felt like I had to say more. Keep rockin', Dexter P.S. Got a cool note from Matt Muldoon

Dexter Crockett	May 10 2009 6:37 PM Howdy Frank, Just uploaded the new song "Water" to my profile. It's a tale of conflict and compromised morality set in a spaghetti western. It begs for a video! Anyone out there interested in producing one? Have fun listening to the song and let me know what you think. Dexter
