Song written by Erwin that was not titled but looks as though it should be called "Parson Bill" or "Rolling Down the Mountain" - Click on "Go to link" to read the words of this song
Song "I'm Not In This World To Stay" believed to have been written by Erwin. This copy appears to be in Anice's handwriting.
Erwin's guitar - Epiphone FT 130 Caballero - found in back of Anice's closet in house in San Angelo when she passed away in 2005. Sound is still good but it's hard to play because neck is warped probably due to sitting for many years with strings having been tight
Apparently unfinished song that could have been inspired by the Beatles hit single of 1963, "She Loves You" (click on "Go to Link" to read the words)

The song below, "The Dirty Hobo" is sung by Erwin alone. Unknown when or where this was recorded but it comes from a cassette tape that was found at Anice's house in San Angelo after she passed away in 2005. Recording quality is poor and there are two breaks in the song - the first at 1.03 minutes and the second at 2.22 minutes. Click here to read the song as originally written which is slightly different in a few places from how it is sung in this recording.
