- This is the soundtrack to the What About Me? video. This video was the first ever music video produced in Oklahoma using digital production technology. We will always remember this session, because while we were holed up in the studio most of the night, Tulsa was having a major storm and flood, and we didn't even know it until we started coming out of the studio. This was before cell phones, IM, Facebook, and all the other ways people relay news nowadays. We were isolated from the world.

- The last of the four song session we did with Gordon. This was the first time we had ever recorded a song that was written by someone else. We wanted to record this song because it went over so great when we played it in our live shows. This was the closing number to our shows for quite awhile with the band Cedric.

11 STANDIN' IN HEARTACHES (1981) 3:41 - Recorded at Charity Recording Studios
Tulsa, Ok
Mixed at Criteria Recording Studios
Miami, Florida
DAVID BLUE : drums
MIKE BRUCE : steel guitar
BOB BAKER : piano
DENNIS TOTTY : vocals, guitar
BYRON TOTTY : bass,
Recording Engineer : David Smallwood
Mixing Engineer : Chuck Kirkpatrick
- From the album Totty Too. A little bit of roots amongst the hard and heavy. We always liked to throw a curve in there some where or another. Shows a completly different side to DT's songwriting skills. We felt fortunate to have Mike and Bob come in and help on this session. Mike is as well known session player who has played with many major artists. Primarily known for his fantastic guitar work, on this song he instead played a great steel guitar track. We called Bob 'One Take', because he came in and recorded the piano part on his very first take. What a pro.

Tulsa, Ok
DAVID BLUE : drums
DENNIS TOTTY : vocal, guitars

Engineered by David Smallwood
- The closing song on the first Totty album. This song originated from an idea DT had for an animated film. This song, and all the other songs on the first album, were recorded on an 8-track Ampex tape recorder using 2" tape. All the overdubbing and layering on the finale chorus of this song were made possible thanks to the expertise of David Smallwood. Quite a feat back then for 8-track tape technology.
