GARY ROBERTSON: Home

Let me start by saying "I'm sorry it has been so long since I have updated the page." We started swathing hay on the 15th of May, and finished picking-up and stacking bales last week. To have the crop laid by sure feels good. Sales of the hay have been good......if you want really good oat hay, drop me a line. We had the chance to see Juni Fisher a couple of weeks ago at a house concert put on by Bob and Marie Mann. She always has been and always will be one of my favorite people to share a stage with. She never fails to impress me. This past weekend Marianne and I went to the 58th National Square Dance Convention which was held in Long Beach, California. My brother, Charlie Robertson was one of the feature callers. He rocked the house every time he took the stage. We had a wonderful time dancing to the various callers from around the country and around the world. Of course, we had the best time dancing to Charlie.....all of you square dancers out there know just how good he is. Marianne and I are looking forward to the summer. Hope to see you on down the road.

Keep Your Powder Dry.

We had the best time at the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival!! Mike Flemming and his staff, and everyone from the city officials to the wonderful army of volunteers out-did themselves.

Now that May is here, we are getting ready to get into the teeth of another hay season. Looks like we will have a good crop....really good considering the amount and timing of this year's rain. Once we have the hay bailed,stacked, stored and sold, M and I will be getting back to Oklahoma for a visit. We look forward to whatever time we can spend in Stillwater. GO POKES

MOTHER'S DAY ALERT ! MOTHER'S DAY ALERT!

Make your plans for Mother's Day. If you are anywhere near So. Cal. on Mother's Day, and if you love your dear, sweet, sainted mother......come to the CD release party being given by Gary Allegretto and Gary Robertson. We will be having the show / party at the Coffee Gallery Backstage in Altadena. Anybody can give their mother a card; anybody can give their mother flowers; anybody can take their mother to dinner......but if you really love her, if you really appreciate the sacrafices she made for you, if you want your mother to remember this day forever......give her two Garys for the price of one!!!!

I've been so looking forward to this new year. Sure, I was ready for "08" to be over and done with, but more to the point, I'm ready to get on with things. STOP telling us what is wrong, what can't be done, how awful things are.... Get out of the way and let us do what we do. We are AMERICANS. This is still "The Land Of The Free and The Home Of The Brave."

Go out and take this year by the horns!

God Bless America.

JANUARY 1, 2009

Here's wishing all y'all a productive, prosperous and blessed New Year. Take a moment to reflect on the year gone by, and look for the good. For all the gloom and doom that the media has trumpeted, we are still Americans... we are still Free... we still know what a good day's work feels like... and we know from where our freedoms come.

We are getting ready for Santa to make his annual visit to the ranch. I have hung the stockings on all the stall doors, and have every confidence that they will be filled with carrots and apple wafers come tomorrow morning. Heres hoping that Santa finds your place, and that you have made the "Nice" list. If you do find a lump of coal in your stocking, I hope it's of the low-sulfur variety..... it would really be bad if you couldn't even use the coal he's left for you.

I just heard yesterday that most urban folks say, "Happy Holidays," and most rural folks say, "Merry Christmas." MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

We seem to have the finish line on another year in sight. I know that things may not look as "rosy" as we would like, but we can all take the time to look back at this year and be thankful for the gifts God has given each and every one of us.

Look back with gratitude, look forward with courage.

Please take a minute to stop by the guestbook page and jot a line or two. Leave your "I Tip My Hat To....."

I have had the great fortune to have been able to be a part of a CD / video project for the band RUSTY TRUCK. Seek out the CD "Lucks Changing Lanes." You will get a CD and a DVD that are truely remarkable.

( I will have more info and links to the Rusty Truck site posted soon.) Thanks Mark!!!
