"I rarely watch TV for the simple fact that there isn't anything much on worth watching. Heck, the commercials are more entertaining than all of these "reality" shows that are flooding the airwaves. What I do like to watch, I can only…"

Several years ago I worked on a Mike (Chucks Brother) Norris film.
Not one of the stunt folks there had any horse experience.
They could sure blow stuff ytp tho.....

"Sometimes a story just gets too 'deep.' An example is Costner's Wyatt Earp film. It was either an hour too long or 3 hours too short. It would have been better as a trilogy--a 2-hr film of the pre-Arizona years, 2 hrs about Arizona,…"

As to the movies, I have a neice in Hollywood, a struggling screen writer. She converted my novel (which I…"

What happenend to the gool old days?
I thank everybody for the different groups that are available to learn past history about the cowboy days. I just don't understand the cow dung that is on regular TV these days. Not worth watching. I stick to the western channel and other learning channels. I can't speak for anyone else but when I get together with friends we don't talk about who or who wants to sleep with this guy or that girl. We talk about good stuff and good morals. Topics we would'nt mind our kids or grandkids hearing.Well…See More

W. R. Benton said… - Thanks for the kind words about my work. I enjoy writing, but it never seems to tell the complete tale. Seems as if I still have more of it inside.

- I've been endorsed by Matt Braun, Stephen Lodge, Don Bendell and a list of million selling authors, just waiting for the money to start rolling in, LOL.
My later work is much better than the work at first. I guess I found my 'writers voice' at some point along the way. War Paint, a book released last year had good reviews, but I spent months researching the thing, which I enjoyed a great deal. It was strange too, once at the computer the story just flowed as quickly as I could type.
Actually, I write because I love telling a tall tale and seeing my work in print. No more money than I make, I'd starve before making it big.
Take care, stay safe and keep yer powder dry pilgrim,

- If you are wondering Chuck how I can be a author and working cowboy, it is called time Pard, almost 35 years, and I wrote about America, The Cowboy Way, and on my people and the wilderness as I worked a horseback, and lived deep into my wilderness, while doing it.
Not the easy way, but the cowboy way -- true to life experiences
called REFLECTIONS FROM THE WILDERNESS A COWBOYS JOURNEY.

Much obliged my friend -- until the next go round --
