Buenos dias, Viejo Vaquero
Your eyes hold the tears of your age
Can you tell the truth of this grand hacienda?
What is written on your faded old page?
Ola viejo cabbellero. Que tal?
What was the grulla stallion's name?
That you bucked out for the two silver dollars
Held tight between boot sole and stirrup
The one with the long flowing mane
Does your heart long for the feel of the ramal and the rawhide?
Does your back feel the sweat of the day?
Does your heart ache for your family so dear?
All who have now gone away
Kern River and Madera are calling
Back to the time of the dream
Back to the time of the hidalgos
Made rich by the rush of the stream
This land will never forget you
It owes you its life and its flower
When these days are gone and only memories linger on You gave
us our finest hour

"Purt
Near"
All My Favorites
Paint Horse owners are people of many talents, and
Larry Maurice is no exception. When the California cowboy isn't
riding, Legal Graffitti, his 5-year old Paint gelding, or leading
a string of mules in the Sierra Nevada, he's reveling audiences
with poetry and songs of the Old West.
In July, Larry's talent was recognized by the Academy of Western
Artists, which named him "Male Cowboy Poet of the Year 2000."
His latest CD, "Purt Near" All My Favorites, shows why.
Loaded with poetry by such notable cowboy writers as Gail Gardner
and Bruce Kiskaddon and songs like "Red River Valley"
and "You Are My Sunshine," the album spins the listener
into the life of the working cowboy. The livestock, camps and
cattle drives that are part and parcel of a cowboy's existence
are a life that Larry has lived for the past 20 years.
Photographs of Legal Graffitti are also featured
on the inside of and back of the CD's cover.
"From the neighing
of a horse at the beginning of the CD, the magic of the words
and music takes hold and resonates. Some stories are humorous;
others are achingly poignant. Larry delivers them with all the
fun and emotion that continues to draw listeners to the cowboy
trail - and tales. Paint Horse Journal,
Media Watch, September 2000
