Breakfast at the Bakery in Mancos this morning was an unusually good experience. The dog patiently waiting on the bench outside, for whomever it belonged, was a common small town sight. We ordered the breakfast special, an exceptionally yummy mixture of eggs,mushrooms, bacon and cheese, served with seven grain homemade bread. Then we were delighted to see Michael Martin Murphey, legendary country music composer and last night's entertainer at the Mancos Opera House, come through the door. Bashful Tom immediately struck up a conversation, telling Mr. Murphey how much we enjoyed his performance and moving on to discuss Wisconsin, as it is Tom's home state and where MM Murphey now has a horse ranch and lives. The used bookshelf then caught his eye and he scooped up an armful of Time/Life Cowboy books and seemed delighted with his find! After taking the the books to his vehicle he returned with CDs and to chat with a young man who has been a championship rider and marksman. He spent a lot of time chatting with the teenage cowboy and his father and then my last picture is of Michael Martin Murphey, songwriter extraordinaire , and legendary performer ambling out the door of the Bakery in Mancos! We found him so down to earth, unpretentious and just small town friendly. Who would have thought it! SF
