Description
Book Synopsis
Poetry Americana "On that saddle he courted a pretty lady and she held him tight from behind its high back seat. They ran freely through the wild blue bonnets, they were in love and life was sweet. When they said "I do" they used it as a pillow underneath the twinkling prairie skies. They partnered up for life with a love that would never die."-The Saddle "Saturday mornings as a kid you'd find me in front of the old RCA. There were white hats on white horses with silver saddles to save the day. It was Roy and Gene who taught me to keep my room and my living clean. I guess you could say they taught me how to be a better human being."
-Black and White "Les McDowell has a rare and wonderful talent; with these poems I am instantly transported back to a simpler time. From dogs chasing my family car down a gravel road, to my grandmother's flowered apron, Les helps me relive those vivid but too often forgotten memories." -KATIE COOK, Television Host/Nashville, Tennessee "Les McDowell has the soul of a cowboy and the heart of a poet. He writes about a way of life that is being crowded out as we rush to pave over paradise. But it will live on in memory and folklore thanks to cowboy poets like Les who remind us that the simple ways are the best. Here's hoping that all his future trials are happy ones."
-Walt Belcher, Tampa Tribune "When Les put pen to paper it was more like poetry Americana, being that although it didn't always rhyme, it had a charm of rural wisdom and a keen observation on values from a less complicated time."
-JOHN McEUEN, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
