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.

Story behind the song
I once jokingly challenged a lady to a hot dog eating contest, as described at the beginning of Verse 2.
Lyrics
Hot Dog Boogie Words and Music by Stan Anderson She was walkin’ down Broadway lookin’ so pretty I said “Is this your first time in Music City? I’d love to take you out for dinner I know this place that serves gourmet wieners” We could have us a little contest To see which one of us is best at Doin’ the Hot Dog Boogie, the Hot Dog Boogie Hot Dog Boogie, I said the Hot Dog Boogie Hot Dog Boogie, sonofagun We could make eatin’ hot dogs so much fun. Now let me explain to ya just how this works. You start at that end, and I’ll start at this First one to the middle of the hot dog wins If you eat the first one faster’n me I’ll challenge you, best two out of three We’ll fight like crazy for that last bite Just keep on nibblin’ if it takes all night. Doin’ the Hot Dog Boogie, the Hot Dog Boogie Hot Dog Boogie, I said the Hot Dog Boogie Hot Dog Boogie, sonofagun We could make eatin’ hot dogs so much fun. (Instrumental) Doin’ the Hot Dog Boogie, the Hot Dog Boogie Hot Dog Boogie, I said the Hot Dog Boogie Hot Dog Boogie, sonofagun We could make eatin’ hot dogs so much fun. It’s a German invention, them folks are smart And I’d like to thank ‘em from the bottom of my heart It’s a wonderful dish just made for two And I’d like to share one just with you With a cool one they go down just fine In Frankfurt they call that Frank ‘n’ Stein! Doin’ the Hot Dog Boogie, the Hot Dog Boogie Hot Dog Boogie, I said the Hot Dog Boogie Hot Dog Boogie, sonofagun We could make eatin’ hot dogs so much fun. Hot Dog Boogie, the Hot Dog Boogie Hot Dog Boogie, I said the Hot Dog Boogie Hot Dog Boogie, sonofagun We could make eatin’ hot dogs so much fun.
