Stories from the Road (RPM Challenge Version)(2010)

This year's entry contains songs I had scattered around. To say that the genres vary widely amongst these songs would be an understatement. Some were written at the moment. One I had started writing 22 years ago. This CD will be released commercially, and it will more than likely be entirely different from the version posted here. In the meantime, hope you enjoy what's featured on the RPM Challenge Page.
