On the Road with Dave Alexander
Michael Martin Murphey’s musical journey has taken many unpredictable paths over the past 50 years. Topping the Pop, Country, Western and Bluegrass charts, Murphey has never been one to rest on his laurels.
His original songs have been recorded by The Monkees, Kenny Rogers, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, John Denver, Hoyt Axton, Johnny Cash, Tracy Byrd, Lyle Lovett, Jerry Jeff Walker, Dolly Parton, Johnny Rivers, Billy Ray Cyrus, and many others. To this day he continues to belt out his hits like “Wildfire,” “What’s Forever For?” and “Geronimo’s Cadillac,” each weekend throughout August at his Rockin’ 3M Ranch Chuck Wagon Celebration in Red River, N.M.

As wacky as it sounds, changing the way one sees the world, one of the most profound lessons a human can learn, can be exemplified by something as mundane and seemingly inconsequential as a trip to the men’s room.
Last week, I spent an afternoon at an event, which required three visits to the venue’s men’s room. Without getting graphic, there were three stalls in this restroom. The stall in the corner and the stall closest to the door were functional, but the stall in the middle was adorned with an “Out of Order” sign.

Happy September!
Do I dare venture to say that we are thinking about fall clothes? I know it seems that sometimes fall takes longer to arrive in Texas (or Oklahoma) than anywhere else, but it will get here eventually, and we will be ready when it does. As we start switching out our closets and tucking away our summer looks, I urge you to keep an eye out for a few pieces that may be staples for the up and coming season. I feel this year will be a year of classic timeless looks. I see neutral colors being popular with soft color pallets. A great collared pinstripe button up will definitely be a necessity. Layered looks with sweatshirts and sweater vests are my current favorite for the classic cowgirl look. These pieces will allow you to make subtle statements.
