WOW! can you tell by "listening" that I enjoyed putting "PUTTIN' ONE FOOT OVER THE LINE", Volume III together?. The title of the CD just happened! (and that Title and the song is in the works) If I can put a lump in someone's throat, a tear in their eye, or a smile on their face, or hear a little laughter, then I'm happy with what I write and compose! I hope one of the ten songs you hear brings a smile to your face and laughter in your heart! There really aren't any "tear-jerkers" or heart-throbbing songs here, just a little laughter......... I am giving you only a little bit of information on this page about the 10 songs on this CD "PUTTIN' ONE FOOT OVER THE LINE", and how they came to life! My bio and other information is pretty much the same as listed on my first and second CD's - "Small Town USA" , www/cdbaby.com/cd/awh1, and "Walking In My Mothers Shoes", www/cdbaby.com/cd/awh2. I have a hard time "tooting" my own horn, so, not to be redundant with supurpelous information, visit the other two sites please. If you like ANY of the songs, please take a minute and leave a comment at the bottom of the page! As with most of my songs I have written, I tend to put a surprise twist at the very end of the song. You only get to listen to the first 120 seconds of these songs, so you are missing some crucial lines here that appear only once in the song! Thanks for listening! While I have your attention, take a look at www.oklahomasongwriters.com , which is the songwriting organization I belong to. Ann Wilson Hardin "AU'NATURAL" ..... is a true story about ME! I was born a toe-head (that's a word for blond if your not from the south....), but by the time I was 21, it had turned to reddish/light brown dishwater blonde! So, out came the dye bottles! After many years of hiding those roots, I just got fed up one day and quit! I also got tired of trying to look "bigger chested" than I was. So, I vowed "... if you can't take me as I am, don't take me at all..." My red'ish hair looks great! "SNIFFIN' YOUR BISCUITS" is also an "almost true" incident about a great couple who have been married over 50 years, and.... Well, just listen to the song! "BETTER CHECK YOUR DIPSTICK" ... I got a letter in the mail from some "twit" I had a date with once (many years ago when I was single of course), and boy did he show his "intelligence". I started writing a "reply" and it came out as this song. I mentioned it to my co-producer, and well...... again, listen to the song! "TEARS ON YOUR POSTCARD". ...mmm... my heart was broke when I didn't get a postcard like I expected from someone. I made the comment ".. well, that's one postcard I won't have to cry over...." Now you've heard... "the rest of the story".... "IF I PROMISE TO MISS YOU". The co-writer on this song, Joe Batcheller, came up with that catchy little title and the "story" unfolded as we wrote. It is written in two versions: one for a male singer, and one for the female singer! "DRINKING DOUBLE SHOTS OF CROWN". A wonderful lyricist and poet, Sharon Frye, sent me the "poem" she had written and had posted to her web site. The minute I read it, I heard a song! So with her permission and enthusiasm, we turned it into a song. Its not really a "knee-slappin'-laughing" song, but it has a little twist and humor in there somewhere! "TELLING THE CAT NOT TO PROWL" This is a true story! Names and places of course have been changed to protect the guilty. When I told co-writer Joe Batcheller what a friend had said to me over the phone at one of our writing sessions...."telling me I can't go out is like telling a cat not to prowl......", the song came to life. "IT'S 10:00 and HE KNOWS WHERE HIS BEER IS" At another writing session with Joe, it was time for me to leave, and as I gathered my books and purse to leave I said "It's 10:00 and I know where my beer is"...... I sat my purse down, grabbed a pencil, and we had the song done in about 30 minutes! "MOONED OVER ARANSAS PASS" Gee, what can I say here, except it's a true story! It really did happen! Luckily, I only had 2 of those powerful drinks, and the next morning when I was having my regular coffee, the images started coming back and the faster my pencil went the more I laughed at the whole incident! Nuff said!
