They got the rhythm, they got the blues -- all with a country influence.

Great songwriter - Great guitar player
All around cool dude.

CONTRIBUTORS

Some sites we have begged and borrowed but hopefully not stolen -- graphics, scripts, and ideas from (well maybe some ideas).

The proprietor, Don Ponder was kind enough to let us use some of his artwork for our OutHouse Studio logo.

Just what you would expect. Some cool java scripts.

This is where I learned all I know (gotta minute) about HTML.
You might call this
"Dr. Joe Burns' HTML College".

The greatest software in the world. This site would not be possible without the Dreamweaver / Fireworks Studio and Flash. Lots of ideas, templates, objects, behaviors and commands.
