We’re publishing a note from Larry Black and Country’s Family Reunion. I’m sure you’ll find it interesting, and if you read our article about Larry’s Country Diner now you know the rest of the Larry Black story. Here is what Larry said:
It’s been a while since we’ve heard new cowboy songs and songs of rodeo and bull riding. “Broken Bones” by Kelly Keening caught our attention the other day, so let’s learn more about this talented artist.
It started as a simple statement, and became one of the most touching conversations. David Smith started by saying “Tim – I own one of Hawkshaw Hawkin’s Stetson hats, still in the original Box.

We just received a report on our music video libraries, all three of which are filled with traditional country music from around the world. As of today, the libraries had 13,781 page views. By our estimates that represents a healthy serving of traditional country music, with almost 200 page views per day. Analytics show an average of five videos watched per person.
Larry’s Country Diner is a popular television show on RFD TV and Rural TV. The show has a Facebook page, and you can visit their website. Each episode features an interview with one of your favorite traditional country music stars. The show is hosted by Larry Black and presented by Gabriel Communications.
