Fortunes
(fossil 187)
Note: This album was remastered for CD in late 2004. What you
can purchase here is a "music CD-R" in a slimline case,
with insert, disc autographed by Joel Mabus -- the price
is the same as a factory-made cd, $16 shipping & handling included.
From 1987, all original songs in a country-folk
setting, with Tom T Ball on bass. This was my 4th record,
but is the earliest currently available.
" ...he proves himself a superb lyricist...
a true master's touch..."
