We placed them, alternatively, with the first four songs in the "Announcing" section.

Our eventual goal is to include all the Honky Tonk CD numbers for stream-only, as many DJs have expressed an interest in playing them on their station(s). Special thanks goes out to Denny Mager at KAXE-FM in Grand Rapids, Minnesota for his recent request.

You can find high quality pictures from this CD's J-card on our Features page.
