~"You have no idea what a long-legged gal can do without doing anything." -The Palm Beach Story
~Sweet Dreams: The Patsy Cline Story because Patsy was a true inspiration to me when i was growing up. she still is. and, for that matter, so is jessica lange. a true beauty with a wonderful speaking voice.
hey gang,
recently, my company had an off-site picnic at angel island. couldn't have asked for better weather, great ferry trip to and from. the theme, loosely, was country/western complete with old timey photos, bluegrass music and a washboard band. the food was free, the beer free-flowing, but to me the best part was meeting Chyrle Bacon. Chyrle is a record-breaking cowgirl rope artist and, man, is she the real thing. what a broad! she was trained by Gene Autry and Will Rogers.
as i was walking around the island i heard people tittering about this lady with a cackle. to be honest, it didn't seem like they were being very nice. well, then i heard it: a cackle that would strip a porcupine. and then i saw her: a tall, bleach-blond in sizzling blue dress with hot-white fringe and dusty white cowboy boots. she was trying to teach the kids how to do rope tricks, and not with much success. she's an older gal, to be sure, but if i manage to maintain a figure like that when i'm up there in years, then hot damn!
i like to know people's stories. so i went up and marveled, maybe gushed a little, completely genuine. you'd have thought i just gave her a free side of beef, but she's the one who gave me a gift. what a smile; what a personable and gracious gal.
she said she'd love to open up a school for young girls to learn rope tricks and whip-cracking and i said Sign. Me. Up. not only is the act graceful, but as far as i'm concerned, give a girl a whip and watch shit get done, honey.
so yea, Chyrle did have a cackle and it was loud, but gosh, it matched her outfit.
check her out. thanks kids. have fun with your selves. laugh as much as you can.
