Lyric video for He Made a Promise to a Dead Man, the first single release from the CD Dreams Will Take You Far. Stan and Felix wrote the song and Felix made the video. A friend got caught messing around with another man's wife. He begged for his life and made a promise that he felt forced to honor, even after the husband passed away.
Felix and friend Pete Lockhart performing at the 2023 Norsewood Country Festival. Playing Blood on the Ol' Cajun Moon. Felix wrote this song with his Nashville songwriting partner, Ron Young. Felix is a big fan of Cajun music and Cajun myths that grew out of the hot and humid weather down in Louisiana. Ron brought this song title and wanted Felix's help to write a fun Cajun dance tune. Ron passed away a few years ago and I wonder if dance lessons are offered in heaven? Ron could not dance a step, but he was sure a good songwriter.
A short snippet preview of each song on the 3rd CatTrick Band CD titled Dreams Will Take You Far. We are proud of this album, as it was recorded and produced in a home studio here in Palmerston North, New Zealand and hope you enjoy it.
Stan and I were deep into a discussion of Tolkien's classic The Silmarillion, placing the Dark Elf Eöl into the mix with other Elves. Suddenly, Stan wonders aloud why there weren't dark hobbits. We pondered what would be the most devious act that a hobbit could do, something deep and dark done only in the most secret parts of his hobbit hole. Something abhorrent, such that even Sauron would consider beyond disgust………..
Stan and I had the guitars and tequila out late one night, and he began telling a story. He was hitchhiking in Saskatchewan to a farm where he had been hired to pick lentils. A pretty woman with a beautiful smile named Sue from Saskatoon stopped to give him a ride to Moose Jaw. What happened between Saskatoon and Moose Jaw remains in secrecy, and some of the recollection was clouded by the tequila. But we put that summer adventure and memories into song!
