Bill is a rancher who works on a ranch between Alpine and Marfa. He has a voice that gives Tom Waits’ raspy quality a run for its money.

“Vaya con dios” were his parting words when we wrapped up his portrait. He ranches in Comanche, Texas where he assures me there are very few Comanches.

6 kids and a cattle ranch make for one funny cowboy. His comical brand of poetry draws from the experiences you can only get while running an operation with a family that large.

He’s a Cowboy for Hire. Not really “for hire” per se, but is a member of a folk cowboy band called Cowboys for Hire.

Ray remembers the way things used to be. They used to just use a lasso. None of these cow chutes and technology. Things were simpler back then, and he tries to keep them simple now.
