"Also the inspiration for the song "Here's to Horses" by Mike Blakely on his outstanding album of real Western music, West of You. This is possibly the best Western album I have ever heard, especially "The Last Comanche…"

"Gay your right, I still think it's funny tho. (But then I've always had a weird sense of humor.) The one of the tombstone is just as funny."

Philosophy/Kanab

I know there are a bunch of other ones out there, such as "Don't squat on yer spurs," etc, but I'm looking for Wayne's comment, or others that make sense.

Larry Imus said… I'm a native of Arizona, raised between Kingman, Wikieup, Prescott & Phoenix.
Married, 2 kids and 10 G/kids.
I spent a lot of time on my Grand dad's ranch near Wikieup growing up.
I've lived in Arizona all of my life, except the 8 1/2 years I was in the Marine Corps, 1965-1973.
The west fascinates me, both old and new.
