Rod Glaze
 |
This handsome devil is the voice behind Cletus Dean Baker...also known as Tumbleweed (the monkey, not the guy). His name is Rod Glaze (the guy, not the monkey.) and he's Jan Christiansen's baby brother.
Rod has always been into all things cowboy. He grew up in Arizona and has been playing music pert near since he was born, worked a ranch when he was just a boy, hung out with ranchers and cowboys and has read about a million western books.
Ask Rod who his heros are and he's quick to say, "My dad, cowboys, Merle Haggard and my dad."

All them years hangin' round with old timers, ranchers and cowboys made Rod a natural storyteller. You see, he learned from the best. When Rod spins a yarn as the voice of Old Tumbleweed Baker, you'll find bits and pieces of all the characters he's known, especially his Dad. |

Over the course of his life, Rod's Dad was a brick layer by trade, but he was also a hunter, fisher, cattleman, trapper, guide for mountain lion hunts, fence builder (in some of the roughest country in Arizona) and even a race car driver and mechanic. His stories were fascinating and mostly true. His vast knowlege of just about everything was staggering. What he didn't know, he made up and as it turned out, he was usually right.
Rod's pretty sure that if God has a game warden in heaven, his Dad was appointed to the position as soon as he reached the pearly gates. | Robert Glaze
