Kingwood Kowboy's History Of Country Music

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song.

Chisholm Trail:

Stranger, will you let us paint a picture of a home out in the West? Where the stars shine from the heavens on the scenes that we love best?

On the mountains, Hills and valleys, on the Plains, in deserts too, and the moon comes up in glory and casts its beams on you?

Were you born to catch the spirit of the nightbird on the wing? Where the freedom of wide spaces and your heart just has to sing?

Where the touch of evening breezes blow from out of that boundless blue, like a blessing from the heavens, it reaches out to you.

And should you, my weary traveler, chance to pass this way and seeking shelter from the night and rest till break of day. We hope you'll drop into our camp and join without delay.

It's the Kingwood Kowboy and his Ranch Hands, and you'll find us charming hosts. We'll give you some sweet music that'll sooth your soul the most. Now, listen as the Ranch Hands sing one of their favorite songs.

Chime Bells:

Out of the dusty blue from the west comes that ever entrancing melody that the Cowboys share, a melody as old as the history of Pioneer days, floating on the breeze over miles of space from the camp of the Kingwood Kowboy and his Ranch Hands, who have gathered round their chuckwagon to chant their cowboy songs and Gladden their hearts after a day's work well done. Let's ride into the camp and enjoy a few minutes of real Western atmosphere as we listen to the Ranch Hands sing one of their favorite songs.

Back On The Texas Plains:

Have you ever saddled a Mustang and rode over a rugged trail with the crisp mountain breeze blowing in your face? Where you feel like looking up into the broad expanse of heaven and offering up a silent prayer of Thanksgiving, to that felt but unseen power, and a sense of peace and calm comes to you that you've never had before?

And as your pony plods to the summit of that slight incline, he is forced to make a sharp turn in the path, and suddenly there lays before you a setting from the Creator that's undreamed of. He has draped a dress of Emerald green as a carpet, spread before your feet for miles and miles and trimmed one edge with a shimmering, dancing little stream, its tiny ripples shining like ribbons and rubies set with diamonds in the reflection of the setting sun, fast disappearing behind the curtain of an early evening cloud. A large but scattered herd of cattle are grazing quietly over the grassy plains.

A trail of smoke issues from the stove pipe of the Chuck wagon, and a faint odor of cooking has wafted on the breeze to a tired and hungry traveler as the coloured cook Dynamite prepares the evening meal for the Kingwood Kowboy and his ranch hands.

Come, stranger; join this happy group and rest. Refresh yourself before the evening campfire and listen as the Ranch Boys sing one of their favorite songs.
