Uploaded #86 to the list, a Latin song this time called "No Te Cambiadia Por Nadien" (I wouldn't change you for Nothing or Someone)...an Ol' School ONDA Tejana song I played with Ricky Smith and La Movida Band on one of my tours in 1986. This was the band that finally got me inducted into the Texas Tejano ROOTS 'Hall of Fame' and Museum in 2015 down in Alice, Texas. It's for streaming only, 'but' you can get a free mp3 copy of it by replying to this News Letter as a mailing list member.

Yesterday was a 'Big" day as I finally saw that 2.7M turn into 2.8M FBk "LIKES"....Thank you for making it happen. I was wondering when it was gonna hit for the last few News Letters so I could tell you. Now to see what the counters will be by Christmas time.

Uploaded "Killing Me Softly" by the Fugees sung by my daughter, Yuli Knaup. It warms my heart hearing her sing, she's a chip off the ol' block...Love you baby girl!
This song now grows the play list to 85 as I keep adding a song every 2 weeks for your listening pleasure.
You can download most all of them 'free' and the ones that are 'not' available, you can get them 'free also' by just replying to this News Letter as a mailing list member and ask for your mp3 copy....this includes "Rock & Roll Down in Texas" saving the .99 cents. If you wish to buy it, you will be helping me help a needy Charity at Christmas time as I donate 10% of the yearly sells. Thank you for your support...
I hope you all have enjoyed the songs up to now. My nephew, Ricky is something else on his material he gives me. I didn't think at the time he was 10 years old that he'd come 'this' far, but he's earned my respect and I'm proud of him. My guitar lessons have paid off. I've got a couple more of his songs I will be sharing with you in up coming News Letters, like the song "I'm Your A/C Man, baby"...a Blues number.

Thank you all for the great numbers on the counters...I'm excited to see them grow and grow everyday as it looks like it will hit the 3.4M plays by this weekend. I'm still waiting for the FBk 'Likes' to hit the 2.8M soon.

Uploaded a new song featuring my nephew Ricky on guitar called "Nothing on this Earth will ever kick my ass again", his story about his troubles in life as he saw it before he got married and quit drinking, partying and messing up. The title says it all. I am 'SOooo' proud of how he took my guitar lessons so passionately and put his spin on it. When he was 10 years old I asked him what and how did he want to play like, and he said "I want to be and play like you". Well...in the mid '70's, I was into everything and I showed him some things to do and told him that 'attitude' is the key and you have to be real piss'd off to play the way he wanted to play Rock. You can hear it in this song as well as his other song I have on the list called "These Colors Won't Run".
These 2 songs are for Streaming Only, 'but' they are 'free' to mailing list members. You just have to reply to this News Letter and I will send you mp3 copies of any song on the list that is not downloadable, including "Rock & Roll Down in Texas".
There are over 3.4k of you getting this mass email at the same time all over the World and here in the States including Hawaii and Alaska, so tell your friends and spread the word!
Well...I've had an interesting month driving some 3k miles from here to Pueblo, Colorado and over to Columbus, Georgia and back as I visited my daughter, Yuli and going to a reunion with my brother, Rocky. You can hear Yuli on a few songs on the list and Rocky plays guitar on songs like "Knock On Wood", "Show Me", "Midnight Hour" and others on the list.
SOOoooo, ~ WELCOME to ALL you new mailing list members and enjoy the play list!
Thank you for the awesome counter numbers on the play, profile and FBk 'Likes'.

Gotta go, see you again in 2 weeks when I'll add another song to the play list.

Be Safe, Stay Healthy, Don't Drink/Text and Drive

PEACE ~ LOVE ~ & ROCK 'n' ROLL!!!

Uploaded a Bonnie Raitt song "Love Me Like a Man" done by my daughter Yuli Knaup to the list of over 80 songs of mine and others I've either worked with on tours and others I've recorded on during my 22 year music adventure from '68 thru '90 when I had to retire to get a 'real' job. I came back in Y2k to record "Rock & Roll Down in Texas" and "Damn Baby, Hold Up" with some friends and fell into my ol' ways until I finally moved out of Dallas to get away from everyone 13 years ago where I enjoy my peace and quiet on my 3 acres near Lake Bonham.
Just came off a short but 'great' visit up in Colorado with Yuli, Mike and my grand daughter MJ who is on the cover art of SOMNEA's song "Mona Lisa" that you can see and hear on YouTube. MJ is also going to be on the cover art of 'another' song of his in the coming future...I'll keep you all posted in an upcoming News Letter on that.
Let me WELCOME 'all' the new mailing list members who have just joined in the last 2 weeks and invite you to read the last couple News Letters under this one at the web site to catch up on what's been hap'nin' with me and my music. Also to let you know that you can have 'any' mp3 of 'any' song not available for download 'free' just for being a list member by just replying to this News Letter and asking for them. There are over 3.4k of you getting this mass email at the same time 'all' over the World and here in the States.
I wish I had time to list everyone but it would take too long and I don't want to keep you from going to the web site to start listening to everything I have posted in over 15 genre/styles. So, tell your friends and spread the word!
Thank YOU, again for the great counter numbers and don't forget to 'Like' the FBk link to make that 2.7M jump up a point to .8M. Let's also see it hit 4M on the play and profile view counters by Christmas!

Gotta make this short so you all can go hear the new song featuring my daughter, Yuli...and many others from my many many friends I've worked with.

Be Safe, Stay Healthy, Be Nice and Don't Text and Drive
