The True Story Behind Kowbelle's Song, "Our Red Cross"

  There are 3 true to detail songs on the Kowbelle Album, "Our Red Cross".  The song I just mentioned, "I Love My Family" and "Takin' a Break".  These 3 songs are about things that happened to me or I witnessed.  Now that Tornado Season is upon us, I would like to take some time and discuss this amazing, sad, but hopeful song.  When you listen to and see the video to "Our Red Cross", please remember those that have been affected by any natural disaster and b [...]

The Gordon Lightfoot Connection

  One cold Winter season in the early 1970's was when my father thought I was old enough to learn about one of his greatest passions, duck hunting.  He was a skilled man and was known by his friends as a compassionate hunter, while still respecting wildlife and nature, and always strictly sticking to all the hunting rules and etiquette.  He raise English Pointers and trained them to flush out the quail he also had raised.  With about 30 hens and a rooster and some dogs,...

Superstorm Sandy, Infrastructure and Hope  

 When I started this blog in August, I told you that I would write about any future natural disasters when they unfold.  However, this time and with Superstorm Sandy, I am finding it very difficult to even think about the mass destruction of homes, entire towns and neighborhoods, and emotions from this storm.  Aeriel  footage of this destruction is pouring in and it is very unsettling, if not totally haunting.  This collection of footage is sure to wake up our sens...

Why We Love Cows

  Let's face it...most of us really like cows and we consume a lot of dairy.  Cows are cute, funny, and can be seen all over rural America.  Not a day goes by when most of us will see a cow on TV, usually in a commercial.  The California Dairy Association has a great TV ad with Selma Hayek desperately trying to find milk all night into the wee hours in the morning.  My favorite comedy movie is Rat Race, and how the cow is portrayed as a victi [...]

The Evolution of the Kowbelle KattleKar

 It is always important for anyone who may have a great product to have a marketing plan just as strong.  That is what I have tried to do with the Album, Kowbelle, and some people are really talking about a very special and unique car.  Kowbelle's 'rolling billboard on wheels' is a 1988 Lincoln Towncar and is in nice condition inside, outside, and under the hood.  This is no ordinary Towncar, but one that makes heads turn and children laugh and smile.  It is a happ...

The song, "I Love my Family" and the search for Casey

  Writing an entire country music album was a wonderful experience and a great opportunity to get to know myself better.  Three of the songs were true, in every detail, of my personal account of certain events.  Eight of these songs were written in a six week period as I was experiencing a writers "rush".  What worked for me in song writing was to think of a neat story and think about it for a day and play around with rhyming words related to the story.  When I w...

Our Red Cross

  As hurricane/ tropical storm/ depression Isaac winds down, its remanence somehow making its way back to the northern Gulf as of yesterday, we can only be reminded and teased of this awful storm.  It lingered in the mid Mississippi and Ohio Valleys and dumped lots of rain on drought stricken areas, but just too late for many farmers who have already suffered huge crop losses.  Central Kansas saw little to no rain and remains one of the worst drought areas.  Isa [...]
