    My tenant had several born in January. Corrientes. Cute even if their moms aren't very pretty. 

    These pics are from last week. I am always amazed by how quickly they go from not being able to stand up to running in circles around the pasture. 

     

     

     

    What do they do with Corrientes?   Sell them for roping/rodeo stock?

    Yeah, my grandfather used to have a cow that would throw twins every time, but only take one. This is actually his herd, but designed to be as low maintenance as possible for him since he is 92. You just can't take a good cattleman away from his cattle and expect him to do well. I help when I can, as I'm the only grandkid who lives near by and also the only one who got the farm gene, but I have a family of my own and all that. We might end up with some veal. And if I can find a tanner some proper calf leather like they had back in the 19th century for making reproduction leather goods. The calf leather you can get nowadays just isn't the same because of modern breeding and stuff like that.

    My dad, approaching 80, sold off his brood mares, yearling colts and stud, and all of his pasture land about 2 years ago.  Then last year, he called me and said, "I'm back in the equine business".  I said, "Ah shit, what have you done".   He bought 2 donkeys to keep his bars, round pens and stalls eaten down and to also help protect the barbado sheep that he keeps out there.  

    He still has a little over acres of farm land on the Red River in Wilbarger Co that is leased out.  Doing well with that if we can keep the BLM and those Okies from stealing the land.

    Aint nobody got time for that.  Off to the sale barn she'd go around our place. Furk a wild cow.

    My dad always says, "Life is too short to have wild cows or horses that kick".   

  4. Caught Darden Smith at a house concert near Atlanta.  120 people there.  He did readings from his new book, "The Habit of Noticing" and played 16 songs, mostly newer stuff, relatively.  He actually flew out here from Austin just for the show.  I've been listening to him for over 30 years and seen him more times than I can count.  Dude has a great story about his life and how to impact others.     

     

    Plus, Jeff Plankenhorn posted a cool picture that morning from the Austin airport.  Jeff, Darden and Sam Baker were all getting on flights to different towns for solo shows.  Darden said he almost missed his flight because they got caught up talking.

  5. Bruce wrote that one as well.  Only time I've heard her do that song was on the tour for "Easy".   And damn, I miss hearing Amy Farris sing.

    Cheater’s Game album. If you haven’t heard it Hulla.

    Husband and Wife laying it down.

    Edit: Cheater’s. Not Chester’s fried chicken

     

    Bruce is the only person I know who was quoted in the National Enquirer.   I guess it was during the recording of her Fading Fast EP, someone took a picture of her walking out of a hotel with a guitar case in hand.  According to the article, she was supposedly leaving Lyle Lovett's hotel room.  They 'quoted' Bruce in the article.  Something along the lines of, "If it's true, I'm going to break his scrawny neck".  I used to have a copy of that edition of the Enquirer and always wanted Bruce to autograph it for me but never got around to it.

    Been a fan since I first heard "I Have Not Forgotten You" on The Range in DFW sometime around 2000 or 2001. And she's married to Bruce Robison, who is also excellent.

    Bruce wrote that song.

    Kelly is a Texas National Treasure. No idea how I'm just now seeing this.......

     

     

    Dammit, the video didn't post above. I'm headed to the bar.  

     

     

     

  9. That song guts me whenever I hear it, whether it's the original recording or a live take.  She just absolutely slays it every time.  And to think she wrote it almost on a dare, at nearly the last second to fill out the album.  
    I've thought from the jump that it seemed to blossom into a very Bowie-esque production by the end of the tune . . . and then I learned that the strings were arranged by the guy who did the same for "Space Oddity".  There you go.
    It's probably the best, most important song of the last few years, and the recording and performance are sublime.
    Didn't know that about the strings. Outstanding.

    You make a good point. I'm having trouble coming up with a non-creepy way to ask somebody to touch their own nipple, although I may text it to my wife for experimental purposes. Nonetheless, asking a 14 year old do it really takes it to the next level. He was probably somewhere in the 7-8 range (out of 10 on the creep meter) with the original comment, but in the context of her being extremely underage and throw in the whole, 'your mom is going to kill me' bit, I think it moves it to about a 47. 

    Also, I was/am a huge Whiskeytown fan. I saw them at the Whiskey in LA in what had to be the late 1990s, and he was just such a tremendous dickhead that I vowed never to go see him live again. My original impression was that he was an awful human being and as if we didn't need any more evidence...

    Emmylou Harris cut bait with him after the Gram Parsons' Tribute album.  She was trying to help him get his shit together and keep him from doing what happened to Gram, but she apparently had enough.  And she put up with Steve Earle and all of the shit that entailed in the early 90's.
