Here's another rough cut from the BuckarooM.  I warn you, this one's real rough.  But it's fresh, and you heard it here first. I wrote and recorded it this morning, after local living legend, Lloyd Reading visited my home, and my home studio, last night for some filming and song collaboration.  There's more on Bakersfield's most active baton-passing, cross-generation-bridge building hero here, where you'll also find a link to Hank Ray's article on Lloyd Reading:

Little Man with a Big Heart 4 Country

words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2008

little man with a big heart 4 country

he came over to my house last night

we wrote a song together

Hank joined right in too

he shared some memories

and sang the blues

July 15th

I put it on my calendar

he met my daughter

and she made him smile

her giggles and his stories

made us laugh all night long

with the little man with a big heart 4 country

he offered stories

of the Bakersfield sound

didn't hold his treasures

back at all

givin' all he's got

to new generations

the little man

with a big heart 4 country

he was there

when lightenin' struck the first time

he'll be there

when lightenin' strikes again

let's all be receptive

to what he has to say

the little man with a big heart 4 country
