“DEFYING GRAVITY” – by Des Kelly This particular song, a rather strange one, also titled “The Executioner’s Song”, written by John Cacavas, based on a true story written by a very famous Author named Norman Mailer, about a convicted murderer named Gary Gilmore, sentenced to death for his crimes, only to have the sentence reduced to imprisonment, by his defence lawyers, and then DECIDE that he wished to be executed, rather than spend long years behind bars. Gary Gilmore then educated himself in law, using books issued to him by the prison library, to have his reduced sentence revoked, and his own death sentence carried out. A very strange tale indeed, beautifully penned by Mailer. Gilmore had his sentence of death finally carried out, and this is where the SONG “Defying Gravity” makes it’s entry.

“WILLIE OR WON’T SHE” – by Des Kelly Another “KELLY KLASSIC” featuring another living legend of Country Music, whose name is in my title. He wrote the lyrics of this wonderful song which attracted me from it’s onset, that had Willie Nelson play his intro. on guitar, exactly as I once played my own instrument for so many memorable years, COUNTRY-STYLE.
