This rather famous cowboy poet (and rightly so) was born, raised and lives in my neck of the woods. I believe that I can post the URL without violating copyrights, but not the specific contents by themselves, so....enjoy.

Very entertaining and very descriptive. It's great to read and at the same time be able to see, smell and taste what is being written! I especially like the last one, Ol' Malcolm made me laugh. ::tu::

That was well worth the read!

Funny thing is here in South Central Kentucky I know some fellers just like Malcom. Lol

IMHO, Wallace McRae is an under appreciated national treasure. I posted this this video a while back in the "Favorite Bluegrass and Country songs" thread, along with the version putting it to music and sung by Michael Martin Murphy.
