A Mid-Month Break

How about a musical interlude? Since the paperback of Heart of Barkness (the C&B before Of Mutts and Men, in a series that can be read in any order!) is now out, here’s Song For Chet, the song that came from the book. Bob Edwards produced and made it happen, and also created this video. Mitch Watkins wrote the music. (I did the words.) The fiddle solo is by Gene Elders.

Musical Interlude

Here’s Song For Chet, the song Lotty Pilgrim sings at the end of Heart of Barkness. I’m still amazed and delighted that a real song came out of this book. Some great players on it, including Gene Elders on fiddle.

No more bomb cyclones, please, at least for a while. Meanwhile, questions about Song For Chet, the original song from Heart of Barkness, the most recent Chet and Bernie novel, came up at the signing on Thursday. Here’s how to get it. (The fiddle solo is by the great Gene Elders, longtime musician in George Strait’s Ace in the Hole band.)
