Andy is such a good person and a fine family man. As for his talent, his singing, guitar playing and poetry are top tier. I appreciate all the help he gives others like helping sport Ramblin Jack Elliott around so we can all see this icon of folk and country music. Andy is a preservationist. His last album Roll On Cowboy is a walk through the days of early cow camps preserving these songs for perpetuity. Keep up the good work Andy. You are a treasure.
I appreciate you Andy. Such a wonderful diversion.
If you want a PhD in cowboy culture, history, poetry and music, this is the place to get it. I am fairly new to podcasts (just started in 2024) so when I found this one, I started listening non-stop. Don't think I have listened to anything else since. Haven't gotten through all of them yet, but I'm catching up fast! Thanks Andy for the great job. I really like the way you interview your guests- they do almost all the talking- you get 'em started then turn 'em loose.
Andy is amazing, best western history for songs, poem, stories of the real cowboys. Never disappoints, even after listening for 5 years.
Check out his music too!
Thanks so very much for this podcast. The good lord willing, the tradition will carry on for many decades to come. Thanks again and keep up this awesome podcast.
