Sage words from an American Cowboy
Interesting little video. Sometimes important messages can best be conveyed in a simple and honest manner.

Can't open it, but, if it is Baxter Black (a Cowboy philosopher/poet), I have seen him many times on RFDTV. He is great. If you ever have a chance to listen to him speak, you're in for a treat.

Leave it to the Cowboys to define what an American is. Excellent words to hear. I will never ever get tired, of hearing a Patriot speak of our Country.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm a big fan of Mr. Black. Got my dad one of his collected works for Christmas last year.

Thanks to your link I saw his "Just a Dog" video. It was timely since I had to put my Akita down last week.

Baxter Black is an Ameruican icon, IMHO.

If there is a modern day Will Rogers, Baxter Black is it!

If memory serves me correctly, Baxter Black is a Veterinarin as well.
