Album Notes

When I went to Nashville to record the first time I was mainly interested in recording some of my gospel stuff because I had
hooked up with a network of the finest studio talent to be found anywhere on the planet ... and they were doing mostly southern gospel ... but we also recorded a few of my country tunes which I had been working on here and there for many years ...

Little did I know that some of the cool songwriters in music city would appreciate my stuff like they did ... so we laid down what you will hear on this "Welcome To Hemet" CD and I actually waited a while to choose the title track and ship it off to discmakers ...

SONGWRITERS & ARTISTS TAKE NOTE: My hometown bought the first 1000 CDs and 1000 cassette tapes of this project! The mayor ask me to play it at the city council meeting and they voted to pay me $4.00 for each tape and $6.00 for each CD ... and 2 days later I picked up a check for $10,000.00 at city hall.

The point is that maybe you could do the same thing in your city ... rememeber the song must appeal to a wide audience and be community oriented ... a little chamber of commerce ditty ... good luck!

This CD features songs that you won't find on my later CDs but are being played as we speak all over the world ... I got a call from a DJ in Portland Oregon yesterday and he said that "High Tech Livin'" is a local "hit" ... and I received an email from Europe this morning 5-31-2005 and "I Traded In My Horse For A Harley" is number 2 on the playlist in The Netherlands ...

Thanks for reading ... thanks for listening ... thanks for buying this CD ... and thanks to the DJs who have been playing the songs on this CD STILL! ... 10 years after it made it's first appearance - ha! Hope to see you somewhere on the trail my friend ... Danney Ball
