Thirty two years ago, a group of us gathered in the conference room upstairs in the Cowtown Coliseum. We all felt that Fort Worth was the perfect location for a cowboy poetry gathering. Even though we had 11 inches of rain that first weekend, we're still here after over 30 years of celebration. We put together a program that, even today, celebrates the men and women who make their living horseback working cattle to provide beefsteak for the dinner tables of America. In 30+ years, we have continued to grow and serve as a platform to present competitions for our scholarship program awarded to young people which, as of today, exceeds $1,000,000. The award is made to deserving young people who want to further their education. Our audience is from all over this great nation as well as other parts of the planet. The excitement of the ranch rodeo, the entertainment value of the cowboy music and poetry presentations, the sights, sounds, and smells of the chuckwagon camp, and the time spent dancing to western swing music make for a fun-filled family western weekend. Our sincere thanks to all of the folks who have supported us for over 30 years. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My next guest was born in Texas in 1938 and has lived a life full of success that most can only dream of. Red Steagall was born to be a cowboy and touch and inspire the lives of millions through his music and poetry. Surviving polio at the age of 15, which damaged his shoulder to the point that he could not move his left arm, he still went on to become a famous guitar player and singer. Red discovered Reba McEntire and blessed our world by exposing her beautiful talent. He has worked with and become friends with so many names that you would recognize like Wilford Brimley, Dean Smith, Roy Clark, Boots O'Neill, Buster Welch, Jim Shoulders etc. Twenty three albums and hundreds of records later, Red still performs concerts and produces radio and television shows. I was honored and surprised that this great star was so willing to meet with me and help me move this podcast forward. My short time with Red is something that I will forever remember and treasure. His enormous presence comes through the microphone, as you are about to see, and I am certain that those of you that are not Red Steagall fans yet are about to become one. Our clearance is approved as filed. Enjoy the ride. For more information about Chris Gregory CJF ASF FWCF: https://chrisgregoryauthor.com/ https://www.heartlandhorseshoeing.com/

*REBROADCAST* In our Christmas episode, we reflect back on Christmas memories and family traditions spanning the generations including cutting our own trees from the Florida scrub before there were nearly so many people and so much less scrub country. We sprinkle in a bit of cowboy poetry including arguably the most widely known Christmas poem in the cowboy poetry genre recited by our friend of the show, Mr. Red Steagall.

This is a special episode that was recorded live in Fort Worth, Texas as part of the Cowboy Artists of America's 56th annual exhibition and sale. The show was called “Stories from around the Campfire,” and it was held at the world-renowned Amon Carter Musem of American Art. I was joined on stage by seven influential members CAA community, and we had a panel discussion about the rich history and bright future of the organization. As you'll hear, the event was partly an in-depth, educational discussion about the history of the CAA and western art markets, with the other part being hilarious stories from the organization's past 56 years. - This event was the brainchild of CAA member and my good friend Teal Blake, who joined me on the podcast several years ago. Sitting on stage with me for the event were Fred Fellows, Jody Beeler, Bill Nebeker, Seth Hopkins, Tim Newton, Red Steagall, and Bruce Greene, all of whom are legends in the western art world– you can read more about all of them using the links in the episode notes. Each of these gentlemen brought a unique perspective and distinct experiences to the conversation. But across the board, they all share a deep love of the West, authentic artistic humility, and unwavering respect for the legacy of the CAA. - This conversation winds in and out of many fascinating (and sometimes hilarious) topics. We had great discussions about the creative process, the idea of fully committing to the life of an artist, and how mentorship plays a huge role in the artist's journey. We discussed the CAA's unprecedented longevity in the art world, and how the group's annual trail ride plays an important role in building friendships and strong bonds between the artists. We talk about how the CAA selects new members, and how the organization has evolved artistically over the decades. There is no lack of sense of humor among these guys, so they share plenty of crazy stories about the pranks and practical jokes that they've played on each other over the past 56 years. You can hear from the audience's laughter that everyone in the auditorium was having a great time. - I was honored to share a stage with these seven men, and I greatly appreciate Teal inviting me to be a part of such a special few days.

With host Jason Boyett, Wilmarth details the challenges local businesses have faced over the past two years, and also helps explain the worker shortages that persist today.

Dr. Ben Espy, a veterinarian with an extensive equine-focused practice, joins TSCRA Talk host, Kristen Brown, to discuss equine wellness tips. In addition to being the King Ranch veterinarian, Espy cares for professional roughstock and timed event horses. For 25 years, he has served as  the head of veterinary services at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. He was awarded the Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association's Veterinarian of the Year award for 2021.Espy discusses the importance of a vaccination program for all horses at the ranch, especially if some horses are leaving for competitions and then returning without a quarantine period. Hoof care and teeth floating are also discussed, with Espy suggesting that a variety of factors be considered when it comes to human intervention. When it comes to equine nutrition and body condition he shares that a horse can only gain three pounds per day and it takes about 100 pounds of body weight to see a change in the horse; therefore, time must be given to the horse for the change to happen. Wrapping up the episode, Grace Dunham, Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association's executive director of events and partnerships, joins Brown to discuss the upcoming Cattle Raisers Convention and Expo. The event will be held March 25-27 in Fort Worth. Dunham shares President George W. Bush will be the keynote speaker in a fireside chat with Red Steagall. Additionally, there are new components being added to the convention including a graduate research poster showcase and a learning lounge where speakers from the School for Successful Ranching will be available to answer additional questions. Another new event is the After Party Saturday night for the young and young at heart to continue to visit and two-step. To learn more about the Cattle Raisers Convention and Expo, visit cattleraisersconvention.com.

Red Steagall maintains that he was twenty-five years old before he knew anything other than mesquite trees, buffalo grass, barbed wire and Bob Wills. But after a move from his Texas Panhandle home to Hollywood in 1965, Steagall learnt quickly. During twenty years in the music business he worked with many of the biggest artists, producers, songwriters and musicians in country history. From running the West Coast office of United Artists Records to pitching songs to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin with Jimmy Bowen as part of Amos Publications, Steagall learnt the ropes from the business end. His own solo career never reached the heights it should have and though he might not be a national household name, Steagall's western swing-infused country music catalogue remains sorely overlooked: from a box of 45RPM singles, this week's show is a deep dive into Steagall's cavernous body of work and a chance to re-discover "Texas Red".

Reba Nell McEntire (born March 28, 1955) is an American country singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer. She began her career in the music industry as a high school student singing in the Kiowa High School band,[1] on local radio shows with her siblings, and at rodeos. While a sophomore in college at Southeastern Oklahoma State University, she performed the National Anthem at the National Rodeo in Oklahoma City and caught the attention of country artist Red Steagall who brought her to Nashville, Tennessee. She signed a contract with Mercury Records a year later in 1975. She released her first solo album in 1977 and released five additional studio albums under the label until 1983.A record producer or music producer oversees and manages the sound recording and production of a band or performer's music, which may range from recording one song to recording a lengthy concept album.[1] A producer has many, varying roles during the recording process.[2] They may gather musical ideas for the project, collaborate with the artists to select cover tunes or original songs by the artist/group, work with artists and help them to improve their songs, lyrics or arrangements.A producer may also:Select session musicians to play rhythm section accompaniment parts or solosCo-write[3]Propose changes to the song arrangementsCoach the singers and musicians in the studio------------------------------------Get in touch!https://www.jobsearchchannel.com__Affiliate Disclosure: I may earn a commission for my endorsement, recommendation, testimonial, and/or link to any products or services from the links above.

In this week's episode we're featuring a 1978 album for Texas icon Red Steagall: "Hang On Feelin'". Recorded and released during a period of continued commercial decline, "Hang On Feelin'" was Steagall's last outing for ABC/Dot Records. That commercial decline does not translate to a decline in quality however, and fans of traditional country and western swing will find plenty to like. Based in Nashville for much of the 70s, this record has backing from many of Music City's top flight sidemen but as usual for Texas Red, there's a definite Lone Star flavour. We could've featured the whole album this week (it's that good), but just a few of the highlights include a Jim Glaser cut (the album was recorded at Glaser Sound Studio) on "Sittin' In An All Nite Cafe"; the dark single "The Devil Ain't A Lonely Woman's Friend"; a wistful cowboy's recollection in "About Horses And Wars" and the self-explanatory "All I Knew To Talk About Was Texas". If Red Steagall ever put out a bad record, this wasn't it.

In this week's episode, we're featuring the first solo album from Kentucky-born Ray Sanders: "Feelin' Good Is Easy" (1969). During his college years at Texas Western in El Paso, Sanders began working for radio station KHEY and picked up personal appearances around the Southwest. He must have done all right too, because in 1959 he was recruited by Ray Price to lead The Cherokee Cowboys and to sing harmonies with Price himself. Ray Sanders was with The Master until 1961 or '62, during which time he was on several hit Price records. After his stint with The Cherokee Cowboys, he went solo and released a myriad of singles without a huge amount of success until '69 and "Feelin' Good Is Easy". The album's quality saw him take home "New Male Artist Of The Year" at the ACM's at that time, and the stage seemed set for this hard country stylist to hit the big time. However the big time never really happened for Ray Sanders - after 1970 and years of minor hit making on labels including Imperial, Republic and Hillside, Sanders settled into the California club circuit, then moved to Honolulu and partial retirement. Our feature album, though, demonstrates the honky tonk quality of Ray Sanders output at his peak - highlights include two early Red Steagall cuts in "Lonely Eyes" and "Beer Drinkin' Music", a faithful rendition of Charlie Walker's "Who Will Buy The Wine" and the buckle-rubber "Gotta Find A Way". Solid material.

Reba McEntire is a full fledged Country Super Star in every way. But she still remembers where she came from and hangs onto her roots.Along with Younger Brother Pate and Sister Susie as kids they formed a group, The Singing McEntire's, to sing at Rodeos and School events. Its said they mostly formed to get themselves out of doing chores around the Ranch. All of them went on to have successful Music careers.

In this episode, we're featuring a rodeo-themed album from ex-bull rider Red Steagall and his road band The Coleman County Cowboys: "For All Our Cowboy Friends" (1977). The inclusion of The Coleman County Cowboys over the A-class Nashville pickers that Red was using at this period in his career adds authenticity: world-champion fiddler Snuffy Elmore dragging the bow, James Wood on steel and Red's younger brother Danny Steagall on guitar add road miles to the album's sound. The artwork alone is a great introduction to the legends of this All-American sport, with black and white photos of many of the greats to go along with Red's name-checking throughout the album. Red Steagall's music was and is anthemic for many in the rodeo fold and is packed full of story songs worth their weight in gold buckles: "Freckles Brown" is the true story of the first rodeo cowboy to ride the infamous bull Tornado; "Dawson Legate" details a man's tragic rodeo fever; "Two Pairs Of Levis And A Pair Of Justin Boots" takes a humorous look at a relationship bust-up and there's a lot of truth to the album-opener, titled simply "Rodeo".
