I hope you all get as much pleasure listening to our first CD as we had in the making of it. I am so glad to be a part of something that Fran has always wished for, the making of her first CD. Her confidence in the recording studio was something I have never seen before. She is a natural! Born to sing without doubt. All her tracks were recorded in one take. No second attempts were needed! Something rarely seen these days with multi-track recording. I am very much looking forward to working along side you Fran, you are such a talented singer. I love you so much. David.. XX

I wouldnt have been what I am today without Ryan, my loving husband, and father of my daughter Shania, who I loved so dearly. I know he is listening to this too. This is my tribute to you Ryan. Fran. XX

This instrumental CD includes a few more of my pedal steel
instrumental tracks heard and broadcast on You Tube during 2007. There's also some new ones not yet broadcasted.  One of them is a track called Old Cow Hand. The backing for this instrumental was recorded by Stuart Payne from Gorleston, Norfolk, UK. He produces some of the
finest backing tracks you'll ever hear. I have the pleasure in adding steel to some of his tracks on occasions when required. My sincere thanks go to him and to Wes Cardy too, one of the UK's finest singer/songwriters, as it was a track Stuart produced for him only, but Wes has kindly let me use it on this album. There's a bonus track of myself and John Stannard too called Heartbroke.  I must thank Kay White too as every time she comes back home from university, I get her over here recording and
editing the You Tube videos.  All the videos broadcasted are done with a single camcorder so there's a lot of editing work done by her. She also sketched the bar and picks picture on the back of this CD.
Well that's about it, I hope you enjoy the CD.

Tracks are as follows:- The Blame, Arkansas Traveller, Ballad of Jed Clampet, Old Cow Hand, I couldn't leave you if I tried, Cold Cold Heart, Cottage in the Country, Together Again, Do I do it to you too, Kiss an angel goodmorning, Heartbroke.
