Leaving the ranch, wife and boys at home, I hopped a plane and flew up to Alaska to start my new job at the mine. After struggling in the lower 48 with bills and coverage for the new album. I figured this was the only way I could keep my dreams alive, The money is good although I miss my family very much, I believe it will all work out in the end. Thus far on this journey my wife has flown up to see me and enjoyed herself and the untamed lifestyle of Alaska. People ask me 'how is Alaska'? I tell them its like reading a Louis and Clark Biography, There are Bears that stand 8 to 10 feet tall and Moose that run wild, as well as Wales and other sea creatures, It's like I am living on the discovery channel. I was really hoping to produce some new music up here and still believe its possible but as of this time, I have been too busy mining, and doing construction jobs underground, The Album: I have recorded most the Vocal and Guitar on my new album already at the Studio prior to my leaving for Alaska, The money is starting to come in now so the album will be completed very soon, I was hoping and still hope to find sponsorships threw Corporations to help cover the costs of the album. Once again, my hat goes off to all my friends and fans across the Globe, From the USA and Beyond to Sweden, Germany Australia as well as Japan, Turkey, to Ukraine Country music is still love by all walks of life threw out this great planet Thank you for your support and kindness in this rodeo we call life. I will never forget my roots nor my fan base, which has inspired my music as well as my livelihood. CHUCK BELUS, Just a WYOMING COWBOY! <center><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"><img src="http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/tuffliferanch30/dividers_11.gif" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a> I was born in Sheridan Wyoming, As a child I was exposed to RODEO and every task of Ranching, From riding green colts to running water over the fields of the famous Padlock Ranch, It would seem they paid the Cowboy nothing and the crop tender everything, I worked for Kendrick Cattle Company as well, I have been ranching and Cowboying all my life. I also have worked other jobs so I could ranch. I worked from the gold mines of Montana to the rail of New Your City, I found the best money to be in mining so that is where I am working now. <center><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"><img src="http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/tuffliferanch30/dividers_11.gif" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a> I have always loved music of all types but found Country to be the best fit for me. I enjoy playing Bluegrass as well. I love to write about life as a cowboy and about people I have run into threw my life, I can write a song about everything about my life that I see. Broken hearts, good love, bad love, good beer, working way too hard and wanting to just get a bit crazy. Its hard not to write about everything I see. <center><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"><img src="http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/tuffliferanch30/dividers_11.gif" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a> I have a hook book that is growing every day, Live to write and write to perform. It would seem my life is a song in itself, My dream is to get my music out for many to listen and relate with situations in their own life. The music scene around my home town is a huge part of everyone's life. I would not change anything about my life thus far other than I have lost many friends and loved ones too soon. <center><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"><img src="http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/tuffliferanch30/dividers_11.gif" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a> <center>VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE. ~ PLEASE READ! I will be headed Back to the studio to complete more songs on May 14th and 15th and will work my hardest to cut as many new songs as we can. I am looking for Sponser to help finish the album by late summer.. Once all the songs are completed they will all be available on I Tunes for all to purchase. I will continue to keep everyone updated with my progress always! <center><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"><img src="http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/tuffliferanch30/dividers_11.gif" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a> All of this is now moving in a very fast pace and I am very excited about my music journey that is in motion and know that dreams do come true with hard work, faith, direction, support and follow through. <center><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"><img src="http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/tuffliferanch30/dividers_11.gif" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a> This "Wyoming Cowboy" is making his mark in the country music scene.

I talked to my wife and explained to her my feelings toward music and song writing. We talked for some time about it, and it just hung on the back of my heart. I was busy trying to make a living like the rest of the people in this here country. I always followed Garth Brooks on the radio. Even out of high school I was playing with bands in Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania. I loved the new experiences. With every town I went and every bar I played in I was just a WYOMING COWBOY away from home. Working the rail from town to town, it felt good to see people smile and hoop it up at one of my songs. <center><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/tuffliferanch30/dividers_11.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Stuck in the land of money, I moved from job to job. Whoever paid me the most is where I called home. In the working world it took this cowboy 20 years to hear the wind call him home to the ranch to write. Don’t get me wrong, I still have to work for a living. At this time it’s the coal mines in Montana. <center><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/tuffliferanch30/dividers_11.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> I can say this, every town I worked in and the people I experienced, still hold with me.

Ranch when I can afford it, it’s hard to keep up with the interest of the Banks. Driving over 100 miles a day to work the coal mines of MONTANA can cash you out pretty darn fast. <center><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx193/tuffliferanch30/dividers_11.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Enough about me though, this letter is to all my friends who have helped me out.

"Dear Friends and Fans,

I have left the Alaska Gold mine and am back in Wyoming with my family. The Album:
I have recorded most the Vocal and Guitar on my new album already at the Studio prior to my leaving for Alaska, The money is starting to come in now so the album will be completed very soon, I was hoping and still hope to find sponsorships threw Corporations to help cover the costs of the album. Once again, my hat goes off to all my friends and fans across the Globe, From the USA and Beyond to Sweden, Germany Australia as well as Japan, Turkey, to Ukraine Country music is still love by all walks of life threw out this great planet

Thank you for your support and kindness in this rodeo we call life. I will never forget my roots nor my fan base, which has inspired my music as well as my livelihood.

CHUCK BELUS,
Just A WYOMING COWBOY!

I was born in Sheridan Wyoming, As a child I was exposed to RODEO and every task of Ranching, From riding green colts to running water over the fields of the famous Padlock Ranch, It would seem they paid the Cowboy nothing and the crop tender everything, I worked for Kendrick Cattle Company as well, I have been ranching and Cowboying all my life. I also have worked other jobs so I could ranch. I worked from the gold mines of Montana to the rail of New Your City, I found the best money to be in mining so that is where I am working now.

I have always loved music of all types but found Country to be the best fit for me. I enjoy playing Bluegrass as well. I love to write about life as a cowboy and about people I have run into threw my life, I can write a song about everything about my life that I see. Broken hearts, good love, bad love, good beer, working way too hard and wanting to just get a bit crazy. Its hard not to write about everything I see.

I have a hook book that is growing every day, Live to write and write to perform. It would seem my life is a song in itself, My dream is to get my music out for many to listen and relate with situations in their own life. The music scene around my home town is a huge part of everyone's life. I would not change anything about my life thus far other than I have lost many friends and loved ones too soon.

VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE. PLEASE READ!
I will be headed Back to the studio to complete more songs on May 14th and 15th and will work my hardest to cut as many new songs as we can. I am looking for Sponser to help finish the album by late summer. Once all the songs are completed they will all be available on I Tunes for all to purchase. I will continue to keep everyone updated with my progress.

All of this is now moving in a very fast pace and I am very excited about my music journey that is in motion and know that dreams do come true with hard work, faith, direction, support and follow through. This "Wyoming Cowboy" is making his mark in the country music scene. Thank you all for your patience and continued support. You all bless and honor me.

You can now purchase HIT single "Straight From The Heart" available at CD Baby:

Letter of Appreciation,

After Returning from the National Finals Rodeo a few years back I knew what I needed to do. I talked to my wife and explained to her my feelings toward music and song writing. We talked for some time about it, and it just hung on the back of my heart. I was busy trying to make a living like the rest of the people in this here country. I always followed Garth Brooks on the radio. Even out of high school I was playing with bands in Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania. I loved the new experiences. With every town I went and every bar I played in I was just a WYOMING COWBOY away from home. Working the rail from town to town, it felt good to see people smile and hoop it up at one of my songs.

Stuck in the land of money, I moved from job to job. Whoever paid me the most is where I called home. In the working world it took this cowboy 20 years to hear the wind call him home to the ranch to write. Don’t get me wrong, I still have to work for a living. At this time it’s the coal mines in Montana.

I can say this, every town I worked in and the people I experienced, still hold with me. I picked up the old guitar and started writing songs about my life.

To make a long story short, HERE I AM, still just a WYOMING COWBOY. Ranch when I can afford it, it’s hard to keep up with the interest of the Banks. Driving over 100 miles a day to work the coal mines of MONTANA can cash you out pretty darn fast.

Enough about me though, this letter is to all my friends who have helped me out. My friend, David Stewart, has been a huge help in kicking me off the chute gate from a spectator to a real musician. From writing to playing, he has been a help to me.

My dearest wife, DEB, for putting up with me and all the bells and whistling that goes along with this RIDE. She always supports me.

Gloria, for following the MONTANA winds south to make music in WYOMING.

Lynn Young, playing songs with me weekly in BUFFALO, WYOMING

And, last but not least, I want to thank my buddy, The Texas Angel (Lexxy Kai) for helping promote me in the early stages of Myspace. If you would like to request her as a friend, I know she would be more than happy to have you. The link to her page is:

I will be posting my music as soon as physically possible. I am a COWBOY, and we don’t make much money to spend on recording. Family first.

Thank you to all my friends across this great country and beyond to others.
