And we are back…

Cindy and I headed out for Pierre on Saturday morning and got there about 10:30, met up with my writers group and ate a bite, had a short meeting then headed over to the Bookstore to do some poetry and music. Then we all loaded up, went to the Capital building and performed there. ItContinue reading “And we are back…”

Warm enough and no wind to speak of. Chance and Hope went to town with sick kids. they were in there yesterday and Chance had strep so they got a bunch of antibiotics but none for Sam or Addy Bear…hope they get it all fixed up.

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’

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”
