Baxter Black

I had the pleasure of meeting Baxter Black last night at the Faulkner Benefit Dinner! Leigh had the privilege of entertaining him all day, so she gave me the fat hook up and set up a meeting. He is so sweet. I told him how Mama always had on NPR and on Friday mornings we always listened to him! I wish that Mama, Daddy, Geems and especially Pops could have been there. It was really a treat. He put on a great show and the audience was really into it. Leigh and I had face aches and smile cramps after the show.

Oh yeah, Leigh would totally want me to tell you she got a shout out from BB on stage! She was totally pumped and so excited that I don't think she slept a wink last night ;) He even gifted her with a book of her choice, with a personal note and signed! Yeah, Leigh!

For those of you who don't know who he is, Baxter Black is a cowboy poet. All of his poems are from life experiences. He is a veterinarian and many of his poems speak to that. They are FUNNY and poke fun at real life. Go to http://www.baxterblack.com/ and checkout his website. You can watch a short video of him in action. Enjoy!
