Cowboy poet and musician, TJ Casey of Billings, Montana was chosen to be a featured performer in a special Christmas

music show honoring the troops and their families at Fort Riley, Kansas.

Executive Producer, Tom Seay of Culpeper, Virginia invited TJ to perform after hearing his music on a production tour in

 Wyoming. The weekly horseback television show, Best of America by Horseback, taped the music special live at Fort Riley

on November 29, 2005 before a “standing room only” audience.

Best of America by Horseback television show had auditioned over 100 music groups across America and invited 8 entertainers

to appear in this unique show.

Highlights of the show also included special Christmas messages written and sent from Nancy Reagan, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter,

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, and Clifton Truman Daniel, President Truman’s grandson. Other special messages included one from the

Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, Roy Roger’s family and from Ms. Diedre Downs, Miss America 2005.

Seay said, “I believe TJ Casey is one of the most talented and versatile musicians I’ve seen in a long time. I was so impressed with his

performance at Fort Riley, that I’ve asked TJ to be a continuing performer of Cowboy music and poetry on the Best of America by

Horseback show series”. Seay continued saying, “I admire his dedication to the cowboy way of life and the American spirit. What he

has done to represent Montana, we hope to amplify through our shows to the rest of the country. It is rare to meet such a talented

individual, who sincerely appreciates everyone he works with. We welcome him to a long and lasting relationship with Best of

America by Horseback.”

During the Christmas special at Fort Riley, TJ received warm applause for his music and a surprise announcement that he had been

nominated for a Native American Grammy.
