Rudy Gonzales
Here is a Cowboy Entertainer Specializing in Banquets, Conventions,
Cowboy Master of Ceremonies, & Other Special Events.
"Cowboy Rudy
Is different from all of the rest!"
Cowboy Rudy is not a famous song writer. He does sing cowboy songs like a cowboy. He does love the funny ones. He is not a nationally famous yodeler. Yet he will teach you all how to yodel. He does not have his own radio show, although he has been told that he does have a great face for radio.
He still has a working cattle ranch. He still shoes the horses on the ranch. He never twirls a gun. Why shucks he can't even spin a great big loop in a rope. However he can most often hit what he is shooting at and rope a horse or calf when needed.
He has been shoeing horses for many years and even taught farrier science. He would never lay claim to shoeing unbelievable numbers such as thousands and even more thousands of horses. He taught safety clinics to save folks from all those guru gimmick horse clinicians. He has never invented anything new or magic. He learned from the best old cowboys and horsemen in the country. Not the ones you read about in magazines. He learned from those he worked and rode with.
Rudy says, . . "When I was young the word was always, "keep your mouth shut and listen carefully to the old guys and you might learn something. And now I are one!"
He does not belong to any cowboy poetry clubs! "If a person cannot stand alone with what they do, belonging to one or even many cowboy poetry clubs does not make the program entertaining!" Rather it speaks of the inability to entertain alone.
When Rudy comes to entertain for your event you know you have the real deal. Cowboy Rudy is not some wanna-be who is a legend in mind. You will find him to be genuine and a nice guy.
He just loves to make folks laugh. His programming is always family friendly humor. He comes to help make your event an even greater success.

Texas.

Having spent most of his life with livestock, he always seemed to be found either on top of, or under a horse. He has always enjoyed the sharing of old tales, poems, and songs of cowboy life. While ranching in Idaho, he began to correspond with Dick Spencer, publisher of The Western Horseman Magazine. The Western Horseman reviewed his first book of cowboy poetry "TRADING HORSES WITH RUDY AND ROSE." Almost immediately this review started a stampede of requests for him to appear and entertain, with his cowboy poetry & music.
With well over 75,000 would-be cowboy entertainers and cowboy poets in the world today, Rudy says, . . . "I'm truly blessed to be one of only a few to make a living entertaining with my cowboy entertainment shows."
entertaining at conventions, rodeo's, banquets, many other special events You will not find him at cowboy poetry gatherings! Cowboy Poetry Gatherings were originated to give a forum for NEW agricultural talent to have the opportunity to share and show their talent, and to get started in the entertainment business.
"The Cowboy Way" is to cut your own trail and not follow the crowd.

Former U.S. President Gerald Ford chose Rudy to entertain at the World Forum.

"Said the robin to the sparrow,
I should
really like to know,
Why these anxious human beings,
rush about and worry
so.
Said the sparrow to the robin,
Friend I think that it must be,
They
have no heavenly father
such as cares for you and me."
