My co-writer buddy and I got burned out on writing and pitching contemporary and traditional country awhile back and so we decided to try our hands at writing something completely left of center. The result was THE WESTERN BALLAD OPERA, and we are presently exploring any and all avenues of marketing / pitching. Last year we were contacted by noted London author Clifford Thurlow and he was so taken by the project that he has begun a novel based on our stories. Hopefully he will be successful in finding a literary agent and publisher for his project. I would like to invite all my fellow songwriters to visit our webpage at www.pistolriver.net and check it out, and any ideas you all might have for us are always appreciated.

Best,
Marvin
