Thread Name: Favourite cowboy songs
Subject: RE: Favourite cowboy songs
Sandy, I think Gail Gardner meant cow-pie-rography. He was a stickler for detail like Katie Lee (I knew her when she wore a green dress with sequins, played a shiny guitar and went by the name of Kay Lee). Gardner ran me over the coals for not identifying him as the author (I didn't know it at the time) and for botching the liner notes in a feeble attempt to explain what I thought the song was about rather than getting it "right". He said about me, (and rightly so) "Some folks don't know which end of the horse is up." If he were alive today, I would make sure that he got all three cents in royalties for my use of his song (indicating how many records it sold). Now he was a real cowboy and may have heard some horses sing folk music. :)
