We were having a good time on the porch at Red Rock Ranch. For more photos from the ranch, go to the link
on "The Neighbors" page. I'm playing my Bell guitar built by Joel Nowland.

With Nowland C-2
The guitar pictured is a Nowland C-2 nylon string guitar. Built by a fine guitar builder, Joel Nowland from
West Point, Utah. I have two other Nowland guitars among the collection in my studio. Not a bad one in the bunch.

The Old Days
Before Technicolor, the black and white two reelers were popular at theaters across the nation. The singing cowboy
was a hero and heart-throb to the pretty young ladies wishing for men of honesty and valor.

Singing about Cowboys since 1955
For my 8th birthday (long before this picture was taken), I was given a Ukulele. I learned Clementine, The Strawberry Roan
and Ol' Paint. The beginnings of my musical life.
