Waddie is one of the finest poetry performers on this planet. It is great to have his work available on YouTube. May he keep at it for another few decades of cowboy poetry gatherings.

I have always enjoyed Waddie's poetry. The first time I'd ever heard him I was living in Wyoming and working on the Paradise Ranch, north of Buffalo.

Waddie can sure tell 'em... One of the best in the business The story reminds me of a "walking man" in my little town... See this feller was in a horrible car accident when he was a boy and his brother burned to death in the wreck. Unable to save his older brother, he walks everywhere and won't drive a car no more. Folks who don't know his story think he's a crazy fool clinging to his bottle now and then, but he's harmless and just has his mind all wrapped around that terrible mem'ry.

Great. Thanks.
