A story from Dave about his brother, a football helmet and a goat. Dave Stamey performs "Bubba and the Goat" during the "Humor + Horror" show at the 39th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Dave Stamey has been a cowboy, a mule packer, and a dude wrangler. Now, he is one of the most popular western entertainers working today. Dave has made it his life's work to celebrate the rural American West. In the past two decades, he has recorded 11 albums of original music, traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, and performed thousands of shows doing just that. His songs capture the life of the modern cowboy in a world of rapid transition, where some things change constantly and some things never change at all. He lives in the farthest northeastern corner of Tulare County, where the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains begin just outside his back door.
"Bubba and the Goat" words + music by Dave Stamey.
