Please join us on Tuesday, January 10 at 3:30 PM as we welcome Judy Taylor for this month’s Music on the Mountain performer. Judy is an award winning singer, songwriter and professional entertainer. She has performed all over the country and parts of Europe, Mexico and Canada as a solo artist, and with her all girl band The Wild Oats. Judy has appeared on many stages as an opening act for great legends of music such as Merle Haggard, Doc Watson, Bill Monroe and Gary Morris to mention a few. The Wild Oats is a group of multitalented female singers and musicians. Their music ranges from Americana, Spanish, Western, Classic Rock, Country, Cajun- Zydeco and Bluegrass. Taylor is also a Wild West performer (think - Annie Oakley, but with a better voice and smile!) Taylor is an accomplished performer of fancy trick-roping, gun spinning and bull whip artistry and now instructs others in voice and the art of Western performance. Growing up in Southern California, Taylor had the uncommon good luck to be acquainted with a very famous rodeo cowboy named Casey Tibbs. As a young girl, Taylor rode Tibbs’ horses and herded cattle on the open ranges (and golf courses) of Ramona’s Country Estates. These were the most impressionable days of her life and it set the stage for her quest and career as a performing cowgirl. It is an amazing feeling to be on stage and have folks cheering you on for doing something you love. Taylor recalls that, “My music had come into its own. I wrote songs and recorded CD’s with my all girl band the "Wild Oats". I had won Southern California’s Country Music Songwriter of the Year award in 1998 and was starting to look in new directions so as to create something uniquely my own. I came across the wild-west arts of trick roping, gun spinning and bull whip cracking.” Taylor fell in love with these quintessential western skills. Taylor says, “I practiced, practiced and practiced ‘till I was an acceptable performer and then added those arts to my performance. Now as I spin ropes and yodel out my cowgirl songs to the world, I clearly see that I have been blessed and live in the heart of my dreams.” After traveling around the US and other parts of the world, Taylor settled down on her own ranch with horses, burros and all the necessary animals and gardens. She still tours several times a year and can be found at special events at city schools and other special events. Taylor was inspired by the icons of her youth, fortunate enough to see those same sparks rise in the eyes of the kids where she performs. “If there was anything I could share from my life experience, it’s that trail blazing is not as hard as one would think,” says Taylor, “And ‘cowgirling’ is a darn fine profession.” With all the distractions and fast pace of entertainment these days, Taylor hopes that carrying the torch of the American wild-west way of life will result in kids being inspired to learn the crafts themselves and choose to entertain with western arts and skills. There is nothing like the image of the western horseman to remind us of our roots. Judy Taylor always includes audience participation! The music is upbeat and foot stomping with beautiful harmonies and instrumentals. We hope you will join us on Tuesday, January 10 at 3:30 PM for this delightful and heartwarming performer. The Julian Library is located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian.

Lake Cuyamaca New Years day, like Christmas Eve last week found much of the area with a blanket of snow. And like last week the flatlanders came by the car fulls. The major difference was the snow was not in town when most arrived, just the traffic. The Sheriffs Department did send a group opf traffic officers to stand at the 4 way stop and keep things flowing which meant the wait time from Wynola was only 45 minutes to get into and through town.
