National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum

[JEBar]

for us, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum http://nationalcowboymuseum.org/ in Oklahoma, City us a must visit when we are in that area .... we've been there 3 times and would go again in a heartbeat .... their every changing exhibits of western art are remarkable .... I can spend hours in the section dedicated to western performers .... this video http://nationalcowboymuseum.org/learn-d ... -podcasts/ with Tom Selleck offers a good feel for that area

I would love to see it. I'm sure I could spend a week there.

I visited it a few years ago when I drove Route 66.

Nice. Along those lines I recorded a couple of CD's of cowboy tunes a few years back with a gentleman by the name of Roy Warhurst. He was with the Sons of the Pioneers in the 80's and 90's. Played fiddle. He and original Pioneer Bob Nolan are the only 2 Canadians to ever receive the prestigious Western Heritage Award from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma. Roy lives not too far from me. He played fiddle and mandolin on my stuff and also produced. Recorded in his home studio. Great guy, and he played a Pioneers anniversary show at the Opry in the mid 90's with Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. He has an autographed photo of Rogers on Trigger that is the coolest. Anyhow, the museum made me think of it. I still would love to see all the great items in that place. One day maybe.

Great post. Can you post a link to your recordings?

I don't have much luck copying links. But if you Google CD Baby, Keith Ward it will come up. They were fun projects, Roy and I had a good time.
