Corridos - Luke Reed

Like Corridos - The Story Songs Of Old Mexico, they hang there on my wall of memories. There's the Olsen-Stelzer saddle my hero used to ride, that later on he passed down to me. A hackamore of Momma's handmade by Johnny Bean and a cowskull that came off the Burnett Ranch. A rope of Junior Eskew's that his daughter let me have, and a blanket from my two Choctaw aunts. Artifacts and articles from my days of growing up that each and every day mean more and more. There's my Daddy's picture taken on the Quarter Circle Y, and one of Mom he carried off to war. A medicne bag, a God's eye, and a rusty ropin' spur, a stool made from Grandpa's tractor seat. These are my Corridos, each one tells a tale of when and where and how I came to be. (Luke Reed)
