We are a group of people living on working ranch landscapes in the American West. Our stories are about a grassroots movement to preserve our ranching heritage and provide long-term stewardship for our fragile lands.
That’s exactly what I’d call living the dream all it’s missing for me is a good bee hive area after-all bees are what helps keep our world pollenated 😎
After hearing him and Gavin do this song, I can't unhear the two of them, but Dan KILLS this song! One of the best rhythm guitar players of ALL TIME....well the BEST rhythm guitar player of all time!!
Roping has indeed changed or evolved a lot ever since the vaqueros came to what is now the American southwest. Most roping shot used today were actually invented in the late 19th to early 20th century in Mexico. Roping during the 18th century was actually very rudimentary, where old tools like the hocking knife were still used in conjunction with roping. At that time there was no team roping; there was also no fancy roping. In Some areas in Mexico, like Veracruz, vaqueros were still tying their lassos to their horse’s tail, since not everyone had adopted the vaquero saddle with a horn. So yeah, roping has indeed changed.
I noticed he’s capoed up, and playing up against the bridge with drop D tuning (which he is the master of)……….. makes for a incredible sound matched with his voice and choice of song. Dan is incredible and a real hidden treasure.
