[dropcap]B[/dropcap]efore Garth became an international superstar he played in small clubs, often in Willie’s Saloon in Stillwater, OK. There he recorded different demo audio tapes in 1986, to sell this to the audience and to have a demo tape for a record company. Some of this original audio cassette tape survived through the years and is now in collectors hands. There was NEVER an official release of these songs, recorded during September 1986. Garth played alone with his guitar only. Now, because of current technology, some collectors decided to bring this recording from audio cassette tape onto CD-R (CD-Recordable) and have made different covers and label stickers.
