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’”

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 behind the song…
After visiting with a very sharp lady, she told me I was remiss in not publishing the stories behind the songs on my new CD. I asked and people said they would like to know them, so I am going to start posting these stories on here. One song and story per day. Coy ThisContinue reading “Story behind the song…”
Preggin’
Got the heifers all ultrasounded… went pretty well, tho’ got warm and dang sure dusty. Good thing I had good horseback help. Not to sure about the chute help as the owner brought them and they took care of that end. Seemed to flow well. Open rate was much better than last year. Feller stoppedContinue reading “Preggin’”
Great weekend

Finally!!!!!
Got the CD’s in. I couldn’t get my scanner to work so resorted to a photo which really doesn’t even come close to doing justice to Brenda Jones Murphy’s art work which she so graciously allowed me to use. Also one of her photo’s on the back cover. 10 original songs. This is NOT countryContinue reading “Finally!!!!!”

Nice day
Not too hot, not too windy. I was getting ready to work on making a palp cage this morning when Delbert showed up with an invite to ride along with him, so took it quick before he changed his mind! We stopped over at a neighbors who had been having a dog trail. It wasContinue reading “Nice day”
Cooler
With some wind. Needed my vest this morning. Didn’t by later morning. After I got the horses in I worked on the loading chute. Rebuilt the piece in front that wiggles back and forth so that if a truck is a little crooked it still hits right and doesn’t leave a gap for a critterContinue reading “Cooler”
Devil’s Tower
Another good one. Had Bill Cheney from down around Casper, Jim Hamilton from over by Decker, MT and Pat Meade from Iowa all come to sing and recite poems. Chance backed me up on his guitar with hot licks… Poor ol’ Bill had back surgery this spring and 5 days after he had a stroke.Continue reading “Devil’s Tower”
