The Friends in Songwriting class had the opportunity to partner with local artists and create songs that showcased their personalities, interests, and, in Galo's case, perhaps even their alter egos. Take a listen 🎶

00:00 “Galo and a Horse Named Biscuit” by Galo &

Out in the desert of Texas
Out where the tall cactus grow
A cowboy named Galo
Rides high in the saddle
Singin’ a song about home
And Biscuit’s a sturdy old stallion
Wearing a cross for a brand
He’s the best caballo
In all the desierto
When the reigns are in Galo’s hands
Yippee ki yi yo
With a loud ESO!
Estoy en camino a ver mis hermanos
They were made to roam never been one for hitchin’
Galo and a horse name Biscuit

News Channel 5 Reporter, , shines a light on the Friend’s remarkable creations!

"Everyone has a story to tell, and our local songwriters are especially good at sharing theirs. Some of those songwriters just got some new collaborators. The music they made is beautiful."
