This page is for our buddy and 'special family member, *Mr. Tex*'. Buffalo Jim & I got accquainted with Mr. Tex from the 'Roy Rogers & Dale Evans Fans Message Board' 'round nine years ago. Since that time, Tex has become a 'special family member' to us.

     

As y'all can tell by the red and white vertial stripe, and the red maple leaf in the center, plus, the blue and white flag, Mr. Tex hails from Quebec, Canada.

*Mr. Tex* has been in the 'Western Performin' field, 60 years this past June, 2010. He recorded his first 12 song CD in March 2005. It took our buddy a couple of years to finish it, as he had had some health issues. We keep prayin' for the Good Lord to bless him with continued good health. I know he had quite a few dates booked last year! He took his horse 'Trigger' along, on some of the dates to perform his famous tricks. Mr Tex has performed some of his fancy gun spinnin' and specialty tricks for all the folks.

Six of his songs on his first CD were in English, the rest were in French. Five of them were his own compositions. That CD has sold out completely! Here are a few title names of that first CD.

Buffalo Jim and I are so glad Mr. Tex is doin' pretty good, healthwise.

Mr. Tex's second CD (E.T.L. #3021-st), plus his French CD (ETL 3020-st) HAVE SOLD OUT!! Both CD's had been for sale since May 10, 2006 with more songs; including his own composition of "The Story of "Kid" his horse, who was his faithful companion. Also, he does a fine rendition of "Crazy Arms". The French CD has those songs also, plus eight more great songs. Many songs were his own compositions. There's ten songs each, on both CD's. "It was a labor of love that I do it for my friends and all my fans", he quoted me.

He has shared with me that he's still workin' on the DVD of his life story. Wow, now that's one I want FOR SURE!!

*1973 Academy of Western Music Winner*


Mr. Tex was the winner of the 1973 Academy of Western Music award in Quebec, Canada for the best song of the year, in 'French'. Here, he is pictured with his award.


"We're very honored to have ya here with us on our website Mr. Tex. We're so glad we have ya as a "Special Family Member"!!





Howdy Pardners!


Mr. Tex's health is doin' better. Bet it's 'cause he's out there entertain' the folks, and sometimes with his pal "Trigger". Doin' what ya love makes ya feel younger and better, all over!

Tex has been a real busy fella the past few years! He's had the pleasure of doin' some great western shows and venues. "It has been great fun to be out there once again, entertainin' and meetin' the western music fans again" he says.




*Trigger's First Performance*
On June 24, 2005, Mr. Tex and Trigger entertained in his home town of St Chrysostome, Province of Quebec, Canada. It was a huge performance along the main streets of town.

Trigger performed his many tricks for all the folks! The children especially enjoyed seein' Tex & Trigger do their act together. This was Trigger's first show ever, and he went through all the paces mighty fine! He was a hit and was so popular with all the little cowboys & cowgirls!

Below, are photos from Mr.Tex's and Trigger's performance on June 24th, at Canada's celebration, in Mr. Tex's hometown.
