Red Steagall

 

Red Steagall has always been a cowboy, at least in his heart and in his mind. While growing up in the ranching country of the Texas Panhandle, he learned the skill and cow savvy of the men who worked the range of the /V .He knew the songs of the range by the time he started to school and since that period in his life, his favorite songs have always been about cowboys.

Even his education is directed toward the range and western way of life. His degree in Animal Science from West Texas State University still serves him well in his quarter horse operation. And although he has entertained folks all over the world for the past twenty years, he''s still happiest on his ranch just west of Fort Worth.

Some of his cowboy friends believe that Red''s best songs and poems have never been heard by the general public. And if you ask Red where his favorite place to perform might be, he may say it''s at the White House, at a fair or rodeo, or on a glittering Las Vegas stage. But more likely, he''ll tell you it''s around the chuckwagon at some lonesome cow camp.
