Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. 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. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/larry-w-jones/support
