Photo by Lori Faith Merritt - www.photographybyfaith.com These are 2 special people whom I give credit to teaching me most everything I know about the Western Music business and yodelin'. Most of all they have taught me what it is to have a passion for sharing their talents with others. I credit them not only for their talents as musicians but also for being true friends. Be sure and visit http://www.heroeswest.com/yodelqueen to see what the Yodel Queen has been up to lately.  Cowboy Jim Garling
I first met Jim and his wife, Doris, 2 years ago at the Cedar Depot Festival in Cedar, KS. Jim began helping me improve on my guitar skills and he taught my brother, Schuyler, a few licks on the fiddle. Last year we relocated just 30 minutes from the Garlings and I knew that I wanted to take guitar lessons from Jim. Today, not only do I take guitar lessons from Jim but I also have the opportunity to learn from his cowboy philosophies. I'm proud to call Jim and Doris my friends.

One of my earliest experiences in western music was going to the Film and Music Festival in Gene Autry. While there I remember hearing a young fiddle player that was out of this world! Since that time, Jake and I have performed together numerous times. He is not only an out of sight fiddle player but he also has a passion for planes and civil war history. Best of all he is a great friend!  Lori Faith Merritt
Lori and I crossed paths at the 2005 WMA Festival. Lori and I instantly hit it off and become friends. She is an outstanding photographer and if you haven't seen her horse photos you are missing out. Visit her site and take a peek at www.photographybyfaith.com. |
