December 2, 2025 - I had the honor of receiving the award for Cowboy/Western Single of the Year for 2024, from the Academy of Western Artists. This was in Ft. Worth, at the AWA award ceremony. Pretty cool!

December, 2024 - On December 5, my lovely wife Joanne and I were at the capitol building in Helena to attend the Montana Governor’s Arts Award ceremony. Given every two years, it’s the highest honor that the State of Montana bestows upon artists who work in the literary, visual or performing arts. There were five artists who received the award this year, and I was one of them. You can watch the ceremony by clicking here. My part in the ceremony starts about 10 seconds before the 52 minute mark.
