In Western Kansas, between Oakley and Scott City is a very unique rock formation. This land is out of character for the rest of Kansas.

Ventures doing Walk Dont Run originally written in 1954 by Johnny Smith who was a guitar professional living in Colorado Springs, CO where I grew up. I took lessons at his music store until is was determined that I had absolutely not a single shred of talent. Best to leave this to professionals was what I was told!
