Born in El Campo, Texas in 1952, Larry Callies\u2019 life begins as the veil of the Segregation Era was lifted, and the unregulated racial divide offered scant opportunities with harsh limitations and constant strife with the rise of civil rights and black empowerment.<\/p>\n

This must-read story shares insight into Larry\u2019s unshakeable grit, unrelenting compassion, unbending stubbornness, and unmistakable kindness which Larry cultivated while growing up in a segregated Southeast Texas over three decades on ranches, singing Country Western songs at the then segregated Gilley\u2019s Nightclub with Gilley\u2019s all white band, and life-risking bull penning jobs.<\/p>\n

Together, the reader will experience Larry\u2019s dream unfolding and take on different shapes through the influences in his life from his Cowboy Father, his Christian Mother, and Famous Cousins to Community Members, Famous Singers, to his eventual tragedy when Larry was diagnosed with Vocal Dysphonia and ultimately ending his budding singing career.<\/p>\n

Larry\u2019s greatest success came when he accepted, his now famous quote, \u201cI am a Christian first, and a Cowboy second.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHERE COMES COWBOY LARRY, STEPPING OUT IN FAITH\u201d shares how dreams can transform from a vision into reality with faith; when one door closes, God will offer another path of opportunity.<\/p>\n
