From the FFoP: "We are excited to bring you one of our endorsed bands, Mary Bomar and Bob Ritter, with Bill Ritter as featured musicians for the evening at this brand new amphitheater in Old Tennessee! Mary, Bob and Bill were a huge hit last year at our event in Portland, ME. We know they will capture just the right spirit for our relaxed, laid back evening in the country under the stars. Templeton Thompson and Sam Gay will be our opening act.

Our album version of this song is available on my website http://templetonthompson.com/run-for-the-roses & is available on cd baby, http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/templetonthompson4 & on itunes, http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/run-for-the-roses/id526047558?i=526047627 =)

It's always such an HONOR to sing this song & I hope beyond hope that I/we did Dan proud at the concert:)

This is one of my most favorite songs ever!=) my kingdom to have had the chance to meet one of my heroes, Dan Fogelberg...he must've been a sweetheart & it's neat to know he was a horseman too;) i always feel honored to sing his song...it's one of the best songs EVER written & EVER performed in my opinion & every time i hear it & when i'm performing it somewhere out there on the road i'm reminded to "let the kid out" and to always "join in the dance," I hope we did the song proud=) what a ROCKSTAR Dan Fogelberg was & always will be!! ~ make sure to sign the petition to induct this ROCKSTAR cowboy into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!!
~ Here's what Eric Mills, Fogelberg Foundation of Peoria, had to say about our version=)
"Templeton and Sam's new rendition of Dan Fogelberg's "Run For The Roses" is the best version of the song that I've heard since Dan's original was released in the early 1980's. They've stripped the song down to it's very essence, and made it their own, while still holding onto the song's true spirit. It is a great example of Templeton and Sam's talent and chemistry, and a great honor to Dan Fogelberg, as well!" thanks SO much to sweet Eric for those kind words & for his AMAZING support & friendship & to the whole DF herd for all of the support, sam & i are humbled & grateful!!=) ~ I feel honored every time I sing "run for the roses" & I pray for the safety of horses all over the world who are running.
Here's to ALWAYS "joinin' in the dance"!!
dream BIG * work hard * have faith, tt & the herd=)

And PLEASE HELP be a VOICE for the HORSES!! I used to believe that some horses truly LOVE to RUN but I only believe that now when they're in their own element, whether out in the WILD because they feel good or at home & on the road with their horses & human families playing & running. Here are some organizations who HELP retired & thrown away racehorses:
