{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
The job isn't that romantic, it sure enough isn't,
[00:44:56]
it's sure enough a job and uh there's, there's those fleeing moments of terror
[00:45:03]
sandwiched between those long months of the same old old room stuff too
[00:45:07]
which might not be to you folks but for a while,
[00:45:10]
but after you done it for a number of years, it would become that way, so,

[00:45:14]
{SPEAKER name="Kenny"}
Yes there's been many and many a trip that I swore if I got back to the ranch, they could have this damn job.
[00:45:19]
But it uh, I don't know, the next morning you're ready to go again,
[00:45:24]
you got to love it, I think, to do it.
[00:45:26]
But, I figure that way with anything if you're good at it.

[00:45:32]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
Sir?

[00:45:33]
{SPEAKER name="Audience Member 1"}
You think that music is a big part of your lifestyle?
[00:45:35]
You know, that you hear cowboy songs and all that
[00:45:37]
You don't really hear as much [[inaudible]]

[00:45:38]
{SPEAKER name="Kenny"}
Well, qu--

[00:45:40]
{SPEAKER name="Audience Member 1"}
[[interesting?]]

[00:45:42]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
Question is about cowboy songs.

[00:45:44]
{SPEAKER name="Kenny"}
Songs--

[00:45:45]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
Does music play a big part of your life? Kenny?


[00:45:48]
{SPEAKER name="Kenny"}
[[You're uh,]] NDow you talking about the modern type of songs that you hear or the Western stuff?
[00:45:52]
Or the old stuff?

[00:45:53]
{SPEAKER name="Audience Member 1"}
The older stuff.

[00:45:54]
{SPEAKER name="Kenny"}
Well, the older stuff uh- there's any amount of songs that you hear today
[00:45:58]
like the Strawberry Roll and Tying a Knot in the Devil's Tail, they were poems,
[00:46:03]
they, and somebody put a tune to 'em, along the line somewhere, and [[,and,and,and]] made a song out of it.
[00:46:10]
But where I grew up, uh, oh they- you hardly ever found anybody that knew how to sing,
[00:46:16]
that was for darn sure sat around the bunk house, but they would come up with a song,
[00:46:20]
you know, during the Depression in my country, they had to make their own entertainment.
[00:46:25]
I think that happened a lot, and there was poems, stories
[00:46:28]
when a bunch would get around about the couch or get down around the far evening and things like that
[00:46:33]
and um, you would always, maybe [[you've]] seen a big rattlesnake today
[00:46:36]
and you uh, could be riding in, I got to make a story about that telling somebody
[00:46:40]
see a big all [[windy]] story, but uh, the songs yeah, I think it uh,
[00:46:45]
um, the old ones that ya, you used to hear in not only in Western type songs, but like uh, well,
[00:46:50]
Uh- Sweet Betsy from Pike
[00:46:53]
And things like that would say and
[00:46:55]
And as far as instrumentals [[turned]] out, it uh-
[00:46:58]
In the older boys, the only thing I ever saw show up much was a harmonica.
[00:47:01]
Somebody that wants to [[live]] that he could blow in [[or]] something.

[00:47:06]
{SPEAKER name="Audience Member 1"}
Thank you.

{SPEAKER name="Kenny"}
Bet.

[00:47:09]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
Yes ma'am.

[00:47:10]
{SPEAKER name="Audience Member 2"}
The other thing, um about ranches and sometimes [[inaudible]]

[00:47:15]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
The question is about formal education versus education on the ranch,
[00:47:20]
they wouldn't go through each of you, and talk a little bit about,
[00:47:23]
what it's like to have an education growing up on a ranch.
