Thread Name: I ride an old paint - houlighan? fiery & snuffy?
Subject: RE: I ride an old paint
The discussion of terms reminds me of a song I have that Sam Hinton sings, and before hand he describes the various terms used in the song. A very handy thing to do for future generations. I don't see that tape around here--the song name will come to me once I hit "send."
This thread also reminds me of "The Strawberry Roan." There are some good cowboy terms used in that, as I recall. All I can remember now are the chorus and a few snippits of the words. I'm not going to be happy until I dig out all of these various tapes and compare the songs. (A nice way to end the evening!) I think I have it on a tape by Barre Toelken and he also sings it in Yiddish. :)
