Replay of Cowboy Tracks from Mar 29th, 2019Wed, 06/11/2025 - 1:00pm | Jim Buchanan“Cow Mooo-sings." Today's show is a light, fun episode. When you think about cowboys, what is it that they have in common? Well, lots of things, but how about the source of their name: "Cows". Cows or Cattle are the underpinning of cowboy culture but they don't get enough individual attention. So, today's show is called "Cow Mooo-sings" and is an ode to called our bovine partners. All the songs and cowboy poetry will be about these critters and I hope that you'll find it "A-mooo-sing!" |

Hi Nancy,
I enjoyed visiting with you today on "Cowboy Tracks"
I wanted to set the record straight. During your show, I made a comment about recently deceased, Doris Day. In fact, Doris Day starred in "Calamity Jane" not "Annie Oakley"
Sorry, my mistake... Really love your show... Keep keepin' on with the great tracks!
Oh, BTW... John Fremont's guide and messenger was Kit Carson.

Thank you for your support
I am really excited about your interview with Dale's former long time manager (Dick Baxter). Can't wait to hear his stories of the good ole days with Roy and Dale!
Right now I'm listening to your Western Swing show and it's too wonderful, it's beyond super. It's even really swell. Thank you for this Swing salute. More Swing and more...
Wow, thank you! This was the first time I've done an all-western swing show. Now, I'm encouraged to do more!
Listened to this varied Cowboy time last Friday. There was Cowboy poetry, music, definitions of terms...yes, so much time has pasted we need to know what used to be common words that relate to Cowboy and The West. Tune in for a good time.
Thanks for listening and for your positive comments!
