Ralphs Backporch's Blog

OK, we ALL win!

Yesterday I worte a little old blog about googling, or rather a bunch of cowboys having to google, the Cowboy Code and it sparked some enlightened debate. I I'm sure glad we can get juices flowing here, or anywhere else, because that's the way I learn so, Thnaks yall!



Here's the deal. We host a popular radio show and in the scheme of things that's not earth shattering. We entertain. We hopefully amuse people all over the world who enjoy listening to, for want of a better term,… Continue

Cowboy Code?

I googled 'cowboy code" and found several thousand variations on an old, familiar theme. The cowboy code is something so ingrained in me I suppose I just took it for granted that i knew it by heart and could recite anywhere or at any time. I was wrong!

A nice young fella the other night dropped by The Ralphs Back Porch western radio talk show and visited with us in our chatroom for awhile and he asked a question. What is the 'cowboy code"?

His question sat there like a five hundred… Continue

Cowboy Poets, bless their hearts!

My old Daddy always told me "If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing right" & "Dont start nothing you dont aim to finish" & "if youre going to ride a tough horse, ride him like you stole him"



I recommend a whole lot of cowboy poets to my friends and neighbors and i take this job very seriously, sometimes i do it in a goofy manner, but thats just cause I'm a little goofy. I still take the job of recommending folks seriously.



Once in a while there is a critter that… Continue

I LOVE True West

Ok, this may or may not be a blog about true West but it is a dadgum good tag line, dont you think? I love the diversity of opinions and ideas here. It is a wonderful thing to have this many people come together to agree on one thing...the love of that vast expanse of culture and life, the West. Now, the rest of it, we can agree to disagree all we want and that's ok too.



Whether you are from Texas or California we all have one thing in common, we are bred and born in the US and we… Continue

Thanks Ralph. I'll listen in. If one of the songs plays, I'll swoon. If not, oh well, maybe it will soon.

Howdy Ralph,

Nice to see so many folks I have either met before or at least heard of, on this web site.

I have made quite a career of being the politically incorrect cowboy entertainer. I just never seemed to fit into the social circle of gatherings so I helped others built theirs. I also put many newcomers on the entertainment stage, I produced the Idaho State Cowboy Gathering for 18 years and help build the worlds largest event, The National Cowboy Symposium in Lubbock Texas.

My past appearance list now prints see at www.cowboyrudy.com/appear.htm .out about 45 pages I am exhausted and very tired of airplanes and hotel rooms. I will always love the audiences and the others I entertained with.

I have a few minutes now and then, but I hope others will understand I do not have time to stay current with all correspondence. If I can help others down the trail, I do know where the obstacles are and am always happy to share some entertainment advise if they are interested.

Adios for now and

Vaya con Dios

OK Ralph,

Now you will see why cowboys should not have computers. I pushed a wrong feature and I have eliminated all of my photos from my page. They are there I just cannot see them. Can you help?

Rudy

There was an option on the large group of photos that asked if I wished to make a photo gone. I had made two duplicates so I pushed the option indicating yes. Everything disappeared from my screen. I cannot find an option to make them visible again on my page.

Can you please ask your webmaster how to put them back?

Thanks Ralph, i will try to get over soon. Right in the middle of selling our home and getting ready to move. Hope to pop in soon.

Hi Ralph, Well, I'm guessing I could read a poem on your program. You'll have to fill me in on how to go about it exactly. Thank you for asking. I appreciate that. Let me know more, OK? Thanks - Almeda
