An early band with my beautiful wife, Lynn and good friend, Bob Simmons.                                     BLT

This band was a favorite. CAT DADDY (Circa 1991)

 

We recently had a reunion with Cat Daddy. It was great and fun to reconnect!

Our band "Cat Daddy" covered this song, " Handle Me With Care" by The Traveling Wilburys and performed it when we opened for Sawyer Brown at Festival in Sandpoint in 1991....I just felt like sharing. We loved being in this band with Neighbor John Kelly, Chris Terracciano and Peter Lucht.

"Handle Me With Care" - The Traveling Wilburys as covered by Cat Daddy.

"When They Ring the Golden Bells" written in 1887 by Daniel de Marbelle, a European immigrant, and veteran of the American Civil War and Mexican War. This song has been recorded by a number of artists, such as Tennessee Ernie Ford and Loretta Lynn. Here, performed by my wife, Lynn, our daughter, and myself.

Our daughter sang "I'll Set You Free" by the Bangles at age 13, when we performed as opening act for Sawyer Brown.  The summer of 1991, I believe.

This one is a family favorite: "Wait A Little Longer, Please Jesus" with our daughter, Spirit, on vocals and me on guitar. It was written by Hazel Houser in 1954 and first recorded and released by Chester Smith. It has been covered by many country artists such as Bill Monroe, Kitty Wells, Carl Smith, and George Jones. It was also recorded by Merle Haggard and Bonnie Owens in 1966.

This one absolutely must be included, because it is what music is all about...writing your heart and then letting it sing. I wrote this song for my granddaughter when she was two.
