There s even a song about Howlin Hilda the greatest Dodger fan and one of the greatest baseball fans ever plus a song about the bravest Boston Red Sox fans. Who can they be? I have also written two songs about the courage and commitment to youth of George Chuvalo Canada s Heavyweight Champion. He fought all the great fighters of his era and was never knocked down. More importantly he doesn t let life knock him down. Lumberjacking today is a sport but none of the current Champs faced the man in The Ballad of Paul Bunyan who clearly is the greatest all time lumberjack. There are three bonus songs the heart gripping Bartender Divine and two more songs that tell of the sacrifice, valor and the pain of those who serve our country in war. These songs are: If This Rifle Could Talk about one soldier in the Normandy Invasion and We Honor You which recounts the story of a returning Vietnam Veteran. I hope you come to treasure this CD.
