J. Patrick Sharpe	7/4/2008 6:30:52 PM Goin Higher is a good tune and really should get more attention. I am always interested in what draws people to particular songs of mine. Whether it is the title or the order in which it appears on the page who knows? But I am always glad when someone picks out tunes of mine that are less familiar or popular. Keep 'em coming Richard.
