Baker Family Cowboys-Mandaree, ND

This is a video I put together of my grandfather, Philip Baker and his brothers. They include him in the 1930's riding a bronc and ranching. Included are photos of his brothers Clyde, John, Norman, Billy, Clement and some of his cousins. I also have several of my Uncles Milton and Lyle Baker. I added a doorway song from the Mandaree Singers since we are all related. I wish I had more of these old pictures to add especially of Paige Baker Sr. Hopefully some extended family will see this video.

Is that ol'Bill Baker taken the leads??

[hidatsaNDN]

Yes, that is Dr. Bill singin lead. But this song also has Norman and Clement Baker with Bert Yellow Wolf. I wish they still sang these songs, but too many left that know the songs. I am guessing you are from Rocky Boy and we are related?
