Some kind words from a long-time fan. Folks like this do OUR hearts good!
Dear Keepers of the Cowboy Way,
I just finished watching you guys on PBS's Song of the Mountains" this weekend after many years (I had never even seen your latest edition, Joey the Cowpolka King). I used to watch your TV show on both TNN and CBS years ago. Seeing and hearing you tonight for the entire concert was like meeting an old friend. You guys are still the greatest. I laughed during Too Slim's rabbit dance, cried during Woody Paul's 'Arms of My Love," and marveled at the yodeling of not only the Idol of American Youth, but the entire group. Best of all, I was able to introduce my wife of 15 years (a native of Japan) to the great cowboy and Texas swing music that you keep alive. Thank you. It did my heart good.
Take care and Best to you all.

Howdy Cowpokes,
Great show in Greeneville, TN. Hope to see you here agin soon. Tell "Sidemeat" the "Sidekick" that he reminds me of Hoot Gibson (at least the hat does). Learn "They call the wind Maria". Played the 25th CD and loved it...looking forward to the 50th and your "Golden Goose" tour!!
My boys (now 25,29) loved Riders in the Sky and remeber being up on stage with them at Wisconsin's State Fair. Now my 16 month old grandchild is mesmerized by the same "cassette" and my newly puchased DVD which I use with him in the car. He stops what he's doing and just sits still listening. I just lulled him to sleep with the music. Thanks.
I will sure second the comments about the PBS show. I loved it, and am right now looking at your music to buy and your tour schedule.
I was at the taping of Song of the Mountains but I still haven't seen it on tv. I would like to have a copy of it sometime! As always, great show!
