Many people don't even know that there's an organization
like this. If you haven't been to their website, check it
out. In the year 2005 & 2010 George and I were invited
to sing two of our songs in the Songwriters Showcase. In
2006, 2007, '08, '09 & 2010 The Brombies were invited
to be in the Afterhours Showcase in the California Bluegrass
Association's Room. The IBMA also presents the Bluegrass
version of the Grammys at the Rhyman Auditorium.
The
Snow Leopard is a highly endangered Big Cat that lives in
the Himalayan Mountains. These incredibly beautiful animals
aren't as widely know as Leopards, but like their distant
relative, they too are killed for their luxurious coats.!!
This
is a wonderful place that is a permanent home for Elephants
who are either retired from performing, or were owned by
people who could not properly take care of them, or worse
stories. Instead of them being "put down", they
are brought here, to Elephant Sanctuary, in of all places,
Tennessee!
Here
is a look at the real Brumbies. This is where we got our
name, not knowing that we'd mispelled it. James (sometimes
called Jack) Brumby is the legendary horse wrangler who
first brought these sturdy horses to Australia. Known for
a long time as Brumby's horses, they subsequently became
Brumbies. A motion picture was made about Jack Brumby, called
"The Man From Snowy River."
This
is a really neat organization. It's all Volunteers
who are in service to nature. They clear fire trails
in the wilderness, build toilets in National Parks, maintain
hiking trails, monitor wildlife and much, much more.
