Forrest Van Tuyl

from Awe, Nice! · host Maddy Butcher

Welcome to Awe Nice, where we highlight moments of wonder while working outdoors. This week, I interviewed Forrest Van Tuyl. Sound familiar? Forrest wrote Rockjack and he sent the instrumental version to me for the intro and outro. In a forthcoming segment, he's going to talk about that song and the ranch structure that inspired it. For this segment, he shared a moment when he was working in way eastern Oregon, not far from the Idaho border. Sounds like amazing country and here he is to tell us about a long, keen observation.  Forrest is married to Margo Cilker, who is a musician and also someone who sings about time outside. They have performed all around the country, in Europe, Scandanavia, and at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada. I hope you check 'em out. Forrest Margo AweNice welcomes interviewees. If you have a moment you experienced while working outside and would like to share it, contact us here.   My name is Maddy Butcher, I developed Awe Nice to highlight moments of wonder outdoors. Keep your eyes, ears, and mind open. Until next time.
