We were lucky to get to know him a bit. Just to be clear, Baxter started his career as a guitar picking singing cowboy. And he was always up to strum some of those songs when the shows were over. Baxter Black, America’s Popular Cowboy Poet, Has Died |

I looked but didn't see anything about this on the 'Cat. I spoke with him a couple of times (by phone) and he struck me as an all-around great guy. He has a number of videos on Youtube. |
