A Texas rancher recently auditioned for 'American Idol' and although he isn't heading to Hollywood, he still got to fulfill part of his country music dream — by singing alongside Luke Bryan. Marion rancher Cody Winkler, 25, appeared on the show Sunday night. When the judges greeted him, Bryan asked him, 'How are you?' and Winkler, dressed in a cowboy hat, boots and belt-buckled jeans, replied, 'I'm doing finer than frog hair.' His 'frog hair' remark sparked some banter between the judges. Winkler told them that aside from raising cattle and truck driving, he started singing two years ago .
