Passion for the Western Landscape and Western Spirit


'I like old corrals and sagebrush

Ponderosa Pines

Cowgirls in old pick-up trucks

California wines

. . . Ian Tyson, from his cd 'Eighteen Inches of Rain


Read some great lyrics from Chris Ledoux's song 'Western Skies'.


In June 1996 I was lucky enough to visit Yellowstone again and play my harmonica and visit Old Faithful.


What is the West without a good Honky Tonk ????


my favorite quotes - winter 96:


'City people don't understand the affection a person can have for the land - It is a powerful thing'

'The Tattered Cover is my favorite book store in the world.

. . . Barbara Van Cleve (montana native who was born on and continues to work a ranch her grandfather established in 1877)

'I was raised to believe what's gonna happen is what's gonna happen," 'Everyone's gonna die -- that's one thing you can be goddamn sure of. I think you've got to live your life doin' what you want to do" And doing it right. Because there is no reride option in that big arena in the sky.

. . . Ty Murray (from Gold Buckle by Jeff Coplon)
