During the gathering we got a surprise visit from our friend Mr Clancy Ballard Music.

Clancy is a singer/songwriter, poet and cowboy originally from southern Utah, now residing in Oklahoma, he’s a pretty dang talented musician and we were sure glad to have him doing some open mics during the gathering! He was also willing to let us interview him, so we snagged him for this video!

We were able to catch up with Ross and snag this little interview. If you’ve never heard of him we highly recommend you check him out, this man has lived one helluva life as a cowboy and a packer. He’s also very well known for his wonderful cowboy poetry and recitations.

He has been interviewed on a couple podcasts such as “Cowboy Crossroads” hosted by Andy Hedges and “Wild Courage” hosted by Jeremy Morris
