Cowboy Tracks for 1:00pm on Feb 15th, 2019Fri, 02/15/2019 - 2:10pm | Nancy Flagg"Strong Western Winds." This episode's songs are about wind. Wind's physical power is featured in many western songs because it is such a big factor in cowboy work, range and animal duties, farming and more. But, wind is also the spirit of the universe. Its invisible yet powerful force often symbolizes movement and change, such as in the phrase "the winds of change." In today's songs there are both the physical and the representational dimensions of the wind. Teacher Bert McCoy says that: "the wind plays its own music." That's so true but the wind also inspires music, as we will hear... |

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!
