Here's the Official Michael Martin Murphey web site . Rod also just won the Charley Russell Western Heritage Association Poetry Award, and we have that winnin' poem and plenty more from Rod right here . My second day at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. I'm running out of superlatives. Waddie Mitchell and Don Edwards on stage together, in the afternoon.

Individually, they are wonderful. I had to rush backstage while the audience was still cheering in order to corral them before they were besieged by an army of their fans. Again, because of all that they have given to Cowboy Poetry, and to the true ballads of the American West, I asked them to tell us what they receive from performing. For 26 years, I loved my cowboy'n life. I did it professionally.
