I read that many of them didn't carry firearms, or if they did, it was a light pistol. Too much weight to haul around. Harmonicas don't weigh much. ;)E.E.Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14761484300868762118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-77880426840934239252017-07-17T18:10:33.660-04:002017-07-17T18:10:33.660-04:00I'm thrilled the others jumped in to celebrate...I'm thrilled the others jumped in to celebrate with me!

If you want to know anything about cowboy music you should contact Guy Logsdon at the National Cowboy Symposium in Lubbock, TX. That's who Jim Hoy quoted a lot in his article. Jim is also a real expert on all things cowboy.

Here’s a couple of ‘cowboy’ songs I like: THE GOODNIGHT LOVING TRAIL is authentic, traditional 19th Century apparently (here performed by a British folk band) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTjiJ-OCa9k as is I RIDE AN OLD PAINT (aka LEAVING CHEYENNE.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG5Cb1GjV7E Whether THE COLORADO TRAIL dates as far back is a matter of dispute; I remember it was used as a mini-theme in the TV Western series THE HIGH CHAPARRAL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyen974dumEAndrew McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856402767418202444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-86186517860456257162017-07-17T15:44:09.061-04:002017-07-17T15:44:09.061-04:00I love country music which is all I listen too!! ...I love country music which is all I listen too!!

I don't think that there isn;t a cowboy who can't whip out a harmonica and sing you a song . I love Willie Nelson he has horses I just saw a special on him on sunday morning and he can really whip out a song. Then there is Waylan who is also good. I listen to music all the time as it keeps my spirits up with my disease I easily get really down and depressed and having battling this disease for 25 years without music I wouldn't be here. Also we have a chihuahua that loves the music on so if we turn it off she starts so bark she is an older one so she also loves my cowboy music. Peggy Clayton P.S.

Mostly harmonicas I think because they were easy to carry. Great job on kicking off this cowboy week!Linda Brodayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357448132994020848noreply@blogger.com
