Cowboy Music and Poetry: Growing and building!

The art of Western Entertainment is alive and well all over the world. More and bigger audiences crowd into little theaters, school auditoriums and even Carbegie Hall just to see and hear Western (NOT Country!) Music and Cowboy Poetry performed by some of the most talented artists in the country. Check out websites like www.cowboyentertainer.com and www.cowboypoetry.com to find a wealth of information about what we do and why we do it. Listen to "Around the Campfire" at www.classicheartland.com for some great Western music.

How many out there have songs or poems they'd like to share? Who has been to a Cowboy Poetry or Western entertainer Gathering or show? Who are your favorite Western entertainers; past and/or present?

An example of a Western Music artist of the past...Marty Robbins. Today? Older Chris Ledoux stuff, Michael Martin Murphy, Ian Tyson. These are names you might know. How about naming some of todays best?
