Last year a friend of mine sent me an email with a video attached to it.
The video was by Baxter Black - a superb performer, also a veterinarian, and a poet, a storyteller and who knows what else.
Anyway, the video was titled “So Lucky To Be An American.”
I watched it; then I watched it again. I even watched it a third time, which is unlike me.
I was moved by Baxter Black’s comments in that video and the fact that he made his comments from the front porch of his country home had even more impact on my mind.
I became curious, so I searched out Baxter Black.
Found him on the Internet at www.BaxterBlack.com and then discovered he’d been a regular on RFDTV since 2005.
You can find RFDTV on your TV remote guide if you look hard enough or you can visit their website at RFDTV.com.
Good stuff, if you're country-oriented.
Not only that, I found Baxter on National Public Radio as a regular.
You can find his NPR stuff HERE.
Anyway, thought I’d give Baxter a call to see if he’d chat with me for a few moments about who he was, where he came from, and how he came to Entertainment when he was a veterinarian by training.
He said “okay” so here you have it.
Listen!
