"Chuckwagon"
Chuck Dawson
Since 1996.
Board of Directors
Treasurer,
CTO banjo picker and harmonica man who is on hand for our shows on most Sunday afternoons. See www.texastrailhands.com

Jessie Roberteson,
Board of Directors,
Just to make things
even more fun,
'Outlaw Jessie Del'
hits the stage with his fine tenor lead and harmony vocals, swings a few on his saxophone, and even 'disappears' into several alternate western celebrity personalities. Stir in a little sleight of hand and this western gentleman could be cookin' up the most fun this side of the chuck wagon camp!

Kristyn Harris,
Beginning as a Buckaroo, it didn't take long for this 17 yr old to join the Saddlepals' weekly performances!  Strumming a strong, sure rhythm guitar, she adds a delightful sound with her lively songs!  Check her out as she moves across the country impressing audiences everywhere: http://kristynharris.com

Al "Cornbread" Connor,
A faithful weekly participant,
he brings with him a whole band full of instruments when he comes!  He's our bass with his fun washtub bass, our harmonica when Chuckwagon is banjo-ing, and everybody loves when he brings out his train whistle at the just the right moment!

'Flapjack Phil'
&  'Pancake Patty'
Ste.Marie,
This husband and
wife team have been
members since 2007.
Phil sings and plays
the accordion, and has written several Gospel songs, and
Patty joins in on those romantic cowboy songs. They make a great duo and a cute couple - been married 40 years now!

Walton Family
Jack, Teresa,
Aaron and Matthew,
This is a family of fine musicians!  With Teresa on the bass, Jack on the guitar and Aaron on the bagpipes, that leaves Mathew:   we've seen very few 17 year olds
with such a talent for pickin' acoustic lead guitar, dobro, mandolin, bass, and steel guitar.

Auntie Jay,
our sweet, gentle Celtic
flute player with a Western
flair!

Ashley Gilbreath,
Folks 'round here
caller her "Texas Red,"
and I do mean RED...
ya better watch out fer
this sweet singin' gal...
she's a quick study!

Bob & Johnie Terry,
There's always fun afoot
when these two are onstage. Bob's irrespressible good humor and clear tenor voice are a perfect match to Johnie's sparkle when she's vocalizing and 'blue bass thumpin'. From Springtown, Texas, these two also own The Music Centre on Main Street in Azle. http://www.wildwesttoys.com (from l to r: Jess Meador, Miss Devon, Bob and Johnnie Terry)

Anita Witt,
a delightful singin',
guitar pickin' cowgirl from Carbondale, Colorado.  We get to see this 'Winter Texan", her horses and her dog Spanky during the months of October to May.  We need our "Anita Fix!"

Teresa Burleson,
aka "Sweet T" - our
favorite Cowgirl Poet!

Raised a cattle man,

Our resident cowboy in training, each Sunday he is found doing what he does best- roping!  You can see Larry twirling and roping, catching the attention of many a youngster, whom he will then offer a chance to join in the fun!
