Stranded --
Was begun with everyone sitting around during a break in the recording of "Rumplestiltskin's Resolve".  I had the basic structure and the lyrics, and I started to play and everyone joined in, so very
quickly we set up microphones and recorded it.  I hope he will forgive me, but I cannot remember who played organ on the track as he came into the studio as a friend of someone visiting the
session.

LINER NOTES

To the listener,
In the public eye, I have been known almost exclusively as a singer-songwriter. This image has tended to limit the number of instrumental pieces I have composed over the years and wished to place on albums. As you listen to this, or any of my other albums, please bear in mind that there has never ever been any written music for the studio musicians, apart from orchestra charts when it was utilized. Today it appears that almost anyone who puts on a cowboy hat and / or has played an instrument for two or three years can be designated as a musician. All of the people who have played on my albums are musicians who have dedicated the majority of their lives to music.
"Health, Love & Clarity"
In All Friendship & With All Love,
May The Music Never Stop!
