Testimonials

From Robert Miller, Legends Hall of Fame, Harrah's Casino
"Cody has the most professional delivery of cowboy poetry I have ever heard. He is funny and just a superb entertainer. "Cody" Carter is funny. He will be a great act for your venue."

From Kent Rautenstraus, Mile High Church, Lakewood, Colorado
"David not only charmed our congregation but all of us behind the scenes, including the minister presenting the message that week as well as the music ministry...His sense of appropriateness, humor, and perspective were completely refreshing and absolutely right-on! His poems were very enjoyable and his delivery perfect..."Cody" is high on my list and I know he will be high on yours."

From Patty Luckenbach, Mile High Church, Lakewood, Colorado
"I have been a fan of Cowboy Poetry for years. I have never missed the Cowboy Poetry Gathering held the past 15 years at the Arvada Center during the Annual Western Stock Show. This year I had the opportunity to experience David Carter...well, "Cody" was outstanding and brought the house down with laughter. I cerntainly endorse David as a fine entertainer and look forward to having him here in Colorado again."

From Gene Ray, Ray's Ranch, Miller, Missouri
"David's ("Cody's") expertise in horsemanship, campfire and cowboy cooking, not to mention his awesome cowboy poetry, are always crowd-pleasing experiences."
