Press Reviews Planet Patriot Earth Songs features music that promotes the love and protection of the earth. They selected "Death Valley Waltz" and commented that it is "a lovely song about a harsh but beautiful place." Kind words from my kind of folks! // "This guy has a wonderful expressive voice and the poetry is wry. Worth listening to his singing too!" (from MP3's "The Frame", Mark Bolten) // "What a great voice!" (MP3's WHAT-Nashville comments on "Doc Holiday's Last Resort) // "This song is a classic." (MP3's WHAT-Nashville comments on "Peggy 'O") // "Fascinating historic footnote told by a wonderful Wild Western storytelling voice . . . Makes me want to gather 'round the campfire and hear more!" from MP3's Gulliver's Travel Tales in their comments on "Doc Holiday's Last Resort"
