Still living on his ranch in Kaycee. When we moved back, six years ago, he was still listed in the phonebook. I just checked...guess fame has caught up, his number is now non-published.

Last I knew though, he still comes to an annual campfire/BBQ thing that the locals have every summer; just sits around the campfire, strums his guitar and sings like a regular cowboy. I am not very fond of his later stuff.

My son has an autographed copy of one of his early albums and we have the rest of them. My neice didn't have anything for him to sign at a rodeo when she was about 11 yrs old, so had him sign her leather belt!

Chris has always had a lot of respect from the communities in Wyoming. He's always been there to help out with benefit concerts and has never been too full of himself to forget where he came from nor those who were his early base of supportive fans. When we dorve up the long driveway to his ranch, really just a rutted, dirt road, his kids, then fairly young, "held" us up with toy six-shooters and bandannas over their faces in a "stagecoach" robbery.

When we were living back in New England, nothing could make me more homesick than to listen to him sing "Paint Me Back Home, in Wyoming".

Thanks, Peter, fro the clarification.
