Heard on The Radio: National Cowboy Poetry Gathering

They're gathering again in Elko, Nevada - this year for the 23rd edition of the National Cowboy Poetry Festival. This year's theme is "The Ranch" and a highlight will be cowboys from France (along with their music - a type of gypsy music).

Two poets and a cowboy musician joined us at Left Jab Radio (XM Public Radio, Channel 133) to talk about the festival, cowboy culture and more. You can hear the program on Sunday morning (8 est; 5 pst) with a repeat Monday morning 2 am (11 pm Pacific).

For more you can go to hiddenamerica.com, leftjabradio.com or westernfolklife.org.
