I hope that my father is still here; before he died he had my mother stop the truck to look at the horses in the field......there were no horses.

Get song: Makes me want to go out and ride my horse with my friends.

I have only just discovered Dave Stamey and am already a confirmed fan! How can modern day Nashville continue to turn out that soulless soft rock that it continues to pedal, when such glorious talent as this is right under their nose. I sincerely hope he tours England soon, I’ll be down the front! Wonderful post, truly wonderful 10 out 10!!!!!!!

Dave's poetry and music never ceases to amaze me. "And the dust raised by my ponies was smoke from my altar offered up to God above." Wow--just wow.

Jay Hoggan at 3:09 is also an Idaho cowboy from Terreton area. His father started the Hoggan Rodeo Company. Jay now owns/runs Red Eye Rodeo. At 4:15 is another shot of my girlfriend's father, Roy Swanson. He also worked for the Hoggan Rodeo Company.

I love Dave Stamey music and the photos by Stoecklein fit perfectly. The cowboy photo at 2:43 is of Idaho cowboys. The man standing 4th from the left with the spotted angora chaps is my best friends father. He passed away several years ago....one very hard working cowboy, as his daughter (my friend is). She can outride, out fence, out drink, out cuss most men I know, but has a heart of gold. God bless the Cowboys!

This is one of the most beautiful song I've heard. The photography really helps one imagine the life the vaquero lived. The lyrics really capture the soul of the vaquero and the life he led. I am still here,... my soul is dancing in the moonlight,.. I mingle with each grain of sand with land that is my birthright, .. now I live in the air above the Pepper Tree. Riveting, haunting words. Where does the soul reside?
