It was followed up by “Echoes From The Attic” in 2012. After the release of “Echoes From The Attic”, health issues began to take their toll, and so a final 6 song album called “Cheyenne’s In Wyoming” was released in 2013, which was meant as a farewell to his lifelong music adventure, as well as a reflection on his life.  This episode features two commercials, the Don Flanagan Interview, four of the songs, a newspaper clipping featuring the Captain of the USS Coontz.
