Re: [Philmont]: New Philmont CD

Got mine today, also.

As Dr. Bob said, the Edge of Texas is great. I had the pleasure of hearing
Rod Taylor sing it at Zastrow during our 2000 Wood Badge course, so I
couldn't wait to hear it on the CD (played that song first).

Get the CD. It's all good. Wish I'd been there to enjoy the live event.
