Of the twelve songs on this cd, SIX of them are FINALISTS in the \"Austin Songwriters Group\" (www.austinsongwritersgroup.com) 2008 Song Contest. (The winners for this contest will be announced in a month or two; ASG hasn\'t set the date yet.) All the songs on this cd were written by Bruce, except for \"Ghost Soldier\", which Kris helped write the lyrics for. Kris and Bruce did all the guitar playing and singing, and Bruce did all the guitar overdubs and played all the acoustic and electric basses. There was one additional musician, the wonderful bodhran player Mark Stone (www.markstonemusic.com) from San Antonio, Texas. He played on \"IRISH GIRLS\".
