Hey all - Thank you so much for being here with me. Just a note to let you know "Foot On The Floor" the new CD title track will premiere on Mixposure Radio July 15th when I will be doing a live interview with them. Time TBA. Please come and join in. We are about to put the finishing touches on five other songs from the CD and I am very excited about the new work. In the meantime, you can find my CD's and downloads at CDbaby and ITunes. I have nearly 500 subscribers here and some of my songs here have been played nearly 6,000 times. I can't tell you how good this makes me feel! Thanks again. Love you all. You are why I do this.

Hello all - So glad to have you on my mailing list. We are in the studio right now putting the finishing touches on about half of the new songs. I have some of the best session players in the country playing on the cuts and am really excited about how they are coming out. Hope you will be too. Thanks.

“Music connects people who will never meet, uniting them in the most profound and unforgettable manner, in a place they cannot see nor touch, but that they can feel as nothing else. What kind of a miracle is that”?
Singer/songwriter and producer Hollister (MD) Morgan began his first serious attempts at songwriting in 1972 while performing on the streets of San Francisco writing about that experience and events he saw occurring in Inverness, Point Reyes and Bolinas.
He released a single, “Ballerina” on Decision Records in 1978 which was the first commercially released signed limited edition 45 rpm record (according to Jerry Osborne’s Goldmine), the inspiration for which was an exotic dancer in a seedy downtown San Diego strip joint. That year he was asked to write and produce a tribute song (For Every Star That Rises) for “To Elvis: Love Still Burning”, the world’s first commercially released picture disc.
He produced and was featured on the album “Song of the American Trucker” released in 1979 by Lakeshore Music & Big Wheels Records, along with Max D. Barnes and Dan McCorrison and others.
The following year he was featured (Out On The Road Again) with Max D. Barnes, Vern Gosdin, Dan McCorrison, Bobby Bare, George Jones, and Joe Sun on a very successful greatest country hits album released in Europe by Intercord. He was invited to tour Europe with some of those artists by the tour’s sponsor West.
During that time he was working in Nashville at Sunbird Records with Nelson Larkin and Earl Thomas Conley. While there he co-authored several songs with writer Glen Barber Jr for CBS Songs Publishing and also co-wrote with Billy Larkin. Later during a second stint in Nashville he co-wrote with Max’s sister, Ruthie Barnes-Steel and cut demos for her, himself and others.
In 1999 he had multiple cuts on “One for the Road”, a soundtrack CD released for Reelife Records with the award winning documentary “A Mistress Called The Road”. The documentary was one of the most successful independent home video releases ever and earned 7 major awards and was broadcast on PBS.
In 2001 he was the Music Supervisor and created much of the soundtrack for the Discovery Health documentary “The Tom Whittaker Story; One Step at a Time” which was broadcast worldwide for many years.
He released the 12 song CD “The Garage Demos” in 2013 on All Night Garage Records, and is currently working on a CD of new material.
“Songwriting for me is just an essential process like breathing. I write because I have to and I don’t do it for fame or fortune or hits or anyone else. I love the process and the discovery and the joy and the need of it. If anyone finds something in my work, well that is just a bonus and an added joy. And thank you for it if you do”.
