Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When I Was a Cowboy (Leadbelly)
An absolutely beautiful version of this with great guitar, fiddle, vocal and harmonica work was recorded in Sligo earlier this year at the Harp Tavern and is on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJsuyMCJX4U Seamie O'Dowd (sings, fiddle), Rick Epping (mouth organ), and Cathy Jordan ("The Unwanted"). Starts at 4:10 with Cathy, the Geantrai program host for this episode, introducing the song. The Irish do Western so very well, and Cathy Jordan has a gutsy sound that goes beautifully with her choices of Irish Trad songs or harmonizing "Out on The Western Plains."
