How fun was this to play for the Oklahoma Electric Co-op (OEC) Annual Meeting at the Lloyd Noble Center, University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma?

OEC had the largest crowd in their 73-year history for this 2010 meeting.

A Busy Four Weeks

Posted on August 23, 2010 at 9:40 PM

The past four weeks have been a combination of vacation, pleasure, and business. As we traveled through New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming. I was fortunate enough to incorporate singing gigs along the way.  We saw old friends, met new folks, visited and jammed with fellow musicians--what more could a musician want in a vacation? In Wyoming we stayed with our friends, the Tussings, for several days. They hosted a house concert for me and then showed us many sites in their area that most tourists never know about.

Music at Cross Brand Church, Stillwater

I was privileged to lead the music/worship service for the first meeting of the Cross Brand Cowboy Church in Stillwater, Oklahoma, on Sunday, July 18.  It was held in the Payne County Expo Center sales barn.  The turnout was good--probably 45 to 50 people.  Doris & I really enjoyed being involved in this first meeting and liked the casualness of a cowboy church.  We hope to attend again.

Oklahoma Libraries

    "Hey, I remember you!" -----

Hearing this comment was refreshing to me as children welcomed me for my second year at the Arkoma and Spiro Public Libraries for their Summer Reading Programs.  Arkoma had about 50 children and Spiro about 65 or 70.  We learned to yodel, which will put their dad to sleep, and learned the "cowboy yell"   YEE----HAW.

     Thanks to Glenda and Carol, the librarians, for giving me this opportunity. It was a great day!

A Good Schedule

Posted on June 7, 2010 at 4:47 PM

I've been blessed with a busy performance schedule for the past 5 weeks with several events in Oklahoma City, Norman, Guthrie, and a couple in Kansas. It's phenominal how it seems that people are really enjoying good ole "cowboy" music.

   The first pic is of the Cedar Depot Festival in Cedar, Kansas; second is at Scott City, Kansas, for a Relay for Life Fundraising Auction; third is at the Chuck Wagon Gathering & Children's Cowboy Festival at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.
