Cochise Cowboy Poetry & Music Gathering, Sierra Vista, AZ
A wonderful four days of performing at local schools, four stages during the Gathering, at an evening jam session, and I was so pleased to be asked to sing a song at the closing Cowboy Church breakfast. This was my third time to perform at this Gathering not too far from home.
Alaska Tours 2015 & 2016!
I had a successful solo tour in 2015 and was joined by Jim Jones and Doug Figgs for the 2016 tour. As Western Attitude, we performed at numerous venues around the Kenai Peninsula. Thanks to my brother and sister-in-law who opened up their beautiful home on the Kenai River. We fished for salmon during the day and performed at night! You can see my last catch just before heading to the airport and back to the lower 48.

San Carlos Apache Reservation, Peridot, AZ
It was a privilege to provide music at this Memorial Rodeo held by my good friends the Preston's who lost their son the previous year. "Chuck" was well-known in the team roping circles as well as an accomplished artist and traditional dancer. My Vision Across the Range album includes a song I wrote in his honor called "Roger Dale" which was Chuck's given name. The photo is with my friend Rick Uhl who accompanied me on guitar and backup vocals.
