Songs/stories Wet Sortin’
Well, here we are to the last one. This is all totally true….. 🙂 ‘Cept for the parts Ken made up to add some punch. Ken Cook got cheated on the credits of this one, as I overlooked adding him to the credits when we printed off the packaging. Sorry Ken! I had written itContinue reading “Songs/stories Wet Sortin’”
Cattle
Drove around with Cindy this afternoon, shutting water off down south and then drove up and looked at the cattle and took a few shots. The wind finally quite blowing so hard and it was almost 70 and real nice out…only way it would have been better if it was pouring down rain! 🙂
Song/stories Calvin’ blues
Here’s a fun one! 🙂 I had been reading Facebook and a younger neighbor lady who used to live on this ranch as a small child and married a young neighbor fellow, was complaining of the snow, in March. They were calving, so I am sure it wasn’t fun. I commented back that if sheContinue reading “Song/stories Calvin’ blues”
Songs/stories Real Western Mornin’
This started out as a song. I wanted something a little faster with some snap to it, as I am inclined to sing (and love) ballads. I wanted to get across that so many mornings are a lot alike, especially at calving time. We in ranching have a routine we all fall in to. AndContinue reading “Songs/stories Real Western Mornin’”
Flu…..
I went to help a neighbor ship his cattle home from summer pasture on Monday. I noticed mo stomach didn’t feel just right that morning and the further we went into the day the worse it got. when I got home, I shifted between the bathroom and the bedroom until sometime yesterday. Not fun….finally ableContinue reading “Flu…..”
Stories/songs-Spring Dance
This is the first track on the CD and was a song from day one. I had been out riding my two rein horse one fine spring morning and I wanted to try and translate what I felt, saw and did. Using all the senses. While working on it, I called Chance and read himContinue reading “Stories/songs-Spring Dance”
Story/ songs-Tween my Horses ears, Beyond alone
Again, both of these songs started out as poems. Written by a neat guy named Slim McNaught ( yes Slim, you should see this skinny booger!) Slim was reciting a poem a few years ago at a gig we were doing and he had stumbled on a poem he had been doing. He made theContinue reading “Story/ songs-Tween my Horses ears, Beyond alone”
Story behind the songs- Cowhand and Revel
You get a twofer on this one. Both if these are made from poems a friend of mine wrote. Ken Cook, a good feller and a whale of a poet and performer.. About 5 or 6 years ago, Ken called one day and had a new poem he wanted to try out on me. WeContinue reading “Story behind the songs- Cowhand and Revel”
Story behind the song- Loveswar
Ernest Loveswar was a breed. Part Native American and the rest white. Said to be very handsome and from the few pictures I’ve seen, I can see why. He and a fellow named Ostrander were both courting the same woman. Evidently Ostrander won out or Loveswar was tired of the competition, so Loveswar rode upContinue reading “Story behind the song- Loveswar”
