THE WESTERNER

Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Song Of The Day #804

Ranch Radio had a Swingin' Monday and a Tuesday Polka, so it only seems fitting to have a Waltzing Wednesday.

Today's waltz is dedicated to the memory of one of my heroes: Dick Manning. This was one of Dick's favorites, The Bandera Waltz. This version was recorded in 1949 with Rex Allen doing the vocal and Jerry Byrd on steel.

Dick was one of the most courageous men I ever knew.
