The summer of 1998 I met Cecil (Travis) as he was known I our circle.
Around the sale Barn.
We became friends , worked at couple of jobs together..
Swapped horses , and an old mule
Old black horse could surely buck.
Shod horses together.
Played some guitar together..
Most of all , we could really do Lunch..
He called me and let me know that he was in Conway Hospital..
Before I made it I was put in the hospital, I missed saying goodbye.

Happy Trails Son.. I know where your head..
