Sometimes it's just me and my computer, with me switching off on guitar and electronic keyboard. At other times, there is someone else who plays rhythm guitar and sings. On my recordings, I have been playing or programming my own backup tracks since about 1990. It is nice having my own studio, because sometimes I also produce recordings for other artists, and play or program backup tracks for those who live too far away to record at my studio. I hope to record some more new songs in the near future. I sincerely thank all the DJ's overseas and on the Internet who have been supporting me and other independent artists in a world where major mainstream airplay is getting harder to find without a major label promoting your music. I have some great memories from my years in this business. In 1975, just months before I moved to Canada, I spent some time on the road as lead guitarist for Becki Bluefield. Some of the great songs she has written or co-written over the years include Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man (Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn), Duty, Not Desire (Jeannie C. Riley), and her patriotic America Will Always Stand (Randy Travis, 2001). Canadian fans will remember a lady I worked with in 1976, the late great Marg Osburne. Marg was one of the stars of Don Messer's Jubilee, one of the most popular TV shows in Canadian history. The Jubilee was said to be the only show on television with higher ratings at the time than Hockey Night in Canada, and was on the air until Don Messer's passing in 1973. In 2007 I had two career highlights. October 19 I opened an Edmonton concert for Canadian troubador Fred Eaglesmith, and on November 24 I played lead guitar behind one of my longtime inspirations, Jack Greene, at his concert at the Rainbow Corral in Wetaskiwin.

Lyrics
Hear My Confession Words and Music by Stan Anderson I know you’ve only known me for a little while, it’s true So I understand if you have your doubts about the way I feel for you When I sing you love songs, can you tell you’re everything I hold dear Or do you think I’m just saying pretty words a woman likes to hear? There are so many guys around with their little games to play And sure, they’ll promise you their love forever and a day But what I’m feeling now I’m finding hard to find the words to say So if you’ll just listen with your heart, I’m asking you today. Chorus Hear my confession, accept my guilty plea Show me no mercy, you can throw the book at me Sentence me to life as your lovin’ man No ball and chain, just a golden band Hear my confession, then darlin’, don’t ever set me free. You won’t need iron bars to hold me, just your soft fingertips I’ll never stray or try to break away from the touch of your sweet lips You won’t need to post a sentry when it’s time to dim the lights All you’ll need is you right here with two lovin’ arms to hold me tight. Chorus Hear my confession, down on bended knee Show me no mercy, honey you can throw the book at me Sentence me to life as your lovin’ man No ball and chain, just a golden band Hear my confession, then darlin’, don’t ever set me free. Tag: Hear my confession, then darlin’, don’t ever set me free. Don’t ever set me free.
