Retired from the company in 2011 after 38.94 years and I can't complain. I am now semi retired and concentrating on my fishing, boats, music, concerts, club dates, and the organizations that I belong to. I am also committed to helping the community and doing what I can for those in need. A big thank you to Palouse Country Cowboy Poets Association, and the Western Music Association, they help me to help others. Thank you and God Bless

Story behind the song

It was C. Ray's birthday and I decided to write some music to one of his poems.

Lyrics

The Grande Ronde
C. Ray Smith

The Ronde travels for many a mile
From the mountains to the valley low
It skirts around the town of Troy
As it continues on its flow

The Ronde takes a zig zag course
On its way to meet the Snake
Rapids horse shoe bends and narrows
Are obstacles in its way

Instrumental:

Sometimes the Ronde is violent
And you hear it rant and roar
But mostly it is peaceful
And tinny ripples caress the shore

In the tranquil of the evening
When there’s solitude all around
There comes the music to your ears
It’s the rippling of the Ronde

The Ronde travels for many a mile
From the mountains to the valley low
It skirts around the town of Troy
As it continues on its flow
