I always considered the musical end my strong point. Yes I have written tons of lyrics but I find I can churn out more songs and focus on strong tunes if I dont have to spend so much time on lyrics. Is there anyone who feels lyrics are their strongpoint and would like to collaborate ? I have to presume this has been done here before by other Taxi members? If interested please drop me a line at
hoknes@Hotmail.com If you listen to my tunes you will see I work in all genres from country to punk.

Can't seem to locate any of your tunes...can you provide some links of some of your favorites...and/or list some of your influences.

Howdy Questor. Unfortunately, none have been put to music yet. I haven't been "discovered" by Nashville and Austin. As for influences, here's a description of my writing style:Welcome to Real Country Lyrics. If you want to get back to Real Country Music, you have to start with Real Country Lyrics. The kind that was sung by Sons of the Pioneers, Roy Acuff, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams Sr, Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys and a host of other pioneers of Country, Cowboy and Western music. This collection brings back the kind of songs heard in the middle of the 1900’s. Note to musicians – All lyrics are copyrighted and titles are registered through BMI and ready for your music and recording.

Howdy Terry and Matt. Matt, funny you mentioned "Ghost Riders In The Sky".When I was writing my "Island Song Lyrics" series, I did a Hawaiian version of that song by Sons of the Pioneers. It uses basically the same melody: (In the song, I mention Danny Estocado), "Maui's Hawaiian Cowboy"

http://www.kingwoodkowboy.com/islandsonglyrics1.html Molokai Cowboy's Ride (Larry W. Jones 05/12/2003) (song#1481)An old Hawaiian cowboy rode out from Maui isle one dayHe gazed across the Pailolo channel toward Molokai on his wayIt was then he saw another cowboy, and prayed he hadn't sinnedCause what he saw was, the Molokai cowboy ridin' in the windYip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o, Molokai cowboy, ridin' in the windThe herd was from the Parker Ranch, stampeding through the skiesLonghorns had broken down the fence and now were loose in paradiseHe shivered in his saddle as the Molokai cowboy looked and grinnedAnd he knew he'd seen his fate if he didn't try his ways to mendYip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o, Molokai cowboy, ridin' in the windHis cry was loud, his voice was slurredHe rode the wind just like a birdHe spurred his horse to catch that Parker herdBut those longhorn cows ain't heard a wordHe's got to ride forever through the skies of paradiseAnd the time he'll spend, is hard to comprehendYip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o, Molokai cowboy, ridin' in the wind As the Molokai cowboy rode on by, the wind like hell did blowAnd he called out another cowboy's name, Danny EstocadoThe cowboy from Maui knew he had some ways to mendOr he would be forever with the Molokai cowboy, ridin' in the windYip-pie-ya-aye, yip-pie-yi-o, Molokai cowboy, ridin' in the windMolokai cowboy, ridin' in the wind
