Cowboy Entertainment
Let's Have Some Cowboy Fun!
But there's more. Cowboys like to be entertained, and I'm just the one to bring authentic cowboy entertainment to you for your party. I'd like to tell you a little about what I do:
I was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas, a border town steeped in cowboy lore and history. 
My uncle, Bill Maynard, took me under his lasso at an early age and taught me about horses, the cowboy way of life and the cowboy code. And my musically-inclined family were well-known performers of traditional country music. Saturday nights at my house were reserved for family sings with banjo, saxophone, guitar and voice. I could neither sing nor play any type of instrument, but I would memorize favorite songs and recite them as poetry. I was drawn to a cowboy life and to entertaining from a young age.
Then some years ago, I met a man by the name of Max Kirkis at a country fairground in War Eagle, Arkansas. Max recited a Jack Dewerff poem called "Sellin' Old Buck," and it so fascinated me that I knew I had to hear more of this cowboy poetry stuff. This chance event is what finally put me on the path toward cowboy poetry performances and entertainment.
I've been reciting cowboy poetry now for about ten years. I even write many of the poems I recite. I've been in good demand on the convention circuit and have had a few solo shows sprinkled in here and there.
Until recently, I lived in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, where I was a wrangler at Bear Mountain Stables and Lodging during the day and on weekends performed and ran barn dances and barbeques. I often entertained at these events -- as I will for your event -- with cowboy poetry. You can also see a "live" sample by clicking on this link. It's an impromptu demo I did at the Dundee Flea Market -- wasn't all "cowboyed out" as usual since it was a hot day and I wasn't expecting the video, but still, you can get the idea.
What is Cowboy Poetry?
To answer that question, I think I'll share one of my own poems:
What is cowboy poetry, I'm often askedMy reply: well, pardner,
it's stories and rhymes about your past
Some of it's old, some of it's new
Most of it's lies, but some of it's true . . .
It's stories told 'round campfires
and stories 'bout ridin' the range
It's stories about doin' things
that today may seem quite strange
Like tyin' knots in the devil's tail
and ridin' down that old Chisholm trail
It's The Strawberry Roan
and Sellin' Old Buck
and tendin' cattle 'til you run out of luck
It's dreams of the old days
when things were always right
and a cowboy could truly
sleep sound every night
It's about the West when it was really wild
and livin' all those dreams we had as a child
Cowboy poetry tells 'bout a way of livin'
that's just a little bit this side of heaven
So . . . what is cowboy poetry you say?
Well pardner, it's the kind of life
I want to live every day.
