Chief Rick Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Not that I expected any less, but three of the four people singing the National Anthem at this year's WNFR were were better than pretty good. Mark Wills for round 1 - GREAT Clay Walker for round 2 - Darn good Young lady for round 3 - Not bad Daryl Singletary for round 4 - Pretty good We are a little behind so we'll be watching round 5 tonight even though round 6 is live (will watch that tomorrow night).

Sedalia Dave Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Young Lady was Allie Burgett http://news.gonzaga.edu/2016/senior-allie-burgett-realizes-dream-sing-national-anthem-national-finals-rodeo-dec-9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Falcon, SASS # 46139 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'd say that Allie was somewhat better than "not bad". She didn't butcher the ending like so many folks do, she had good range and she pulled the mike away from her mouth for high notes or louder singing. It is hard to compete with Daryle Singletary though. Still I thought a fine job. PF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Rick Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 I missed round five - 4.5 hours of "black screen" on my DVR. In my grading system, the young lady, Ms. Allie Burgett, was not bad - which is better than good - but not as good as Mark Wills, Clay Walker or Daryl Singletary. Watching round 6 tonight (provided it recorded...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Some outstanding Canadian riders this year. Had some outstanding American cowboys win the $100,000 event prizes at the Calgary Stampede. It gets the odd Brit and Australian cowboys as well.

Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 They're not that odd....well some of em maybe. Good one Bob. One thing that I notice is the lack of Chuck wagon races in the U.S. At least we don't see them competing at any of our rodeos or the Calgary Stampede. Wagon races are the Stampedes 's premier event. It used to be 4 wagons, each with 4 outriders per race, for a total of 4 wagons and 32 horses on the track however, for safety reasons, they reduced the outriders to 2 for each wagon. Nothing like being down at the rail when they went flying by, getting hit with dirt clods and and horse turds flying in every direction.
