This is my wild and wonderful Texas cattle ranching family in the early sixties. I could not be more thankful for the rich American heritage I was born into. My twelve song album and the stories behind the songs share the journey of one American family beginning with my great grandparents who raised ten children out on the high plains surviving both the Great Depression and the Dirty Thirties. The story continues to chronical the adversity this family faced through the aftermath of one son's harrowing experience in World War II, and the incredibly delicate debates, decisions, and resulting family division related to raising cattle in an effort to prosper the family, local community, and region, while meeting the challenging demands required to participate in the heart-felt efforts to "feed the globe."
