#3062 Special Event: Troubadours on Horseback: The History of Singing Cowboys

Presenter: Donna Guthrie

Cowboy songs were written to glorify the life of the cowboy and the Wild West. Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and Tex Ritter are a few familiar names whose music was part of the era of singing cowboys in Western movies. “Troubadours on Horseback, The History of Singing Cowboys” is a musical lecture featuring the simple melodies, harmonies, and instrumentation of cowboy songs. Through music, slides, and movie clips, children's author Donna Guthrie celebrates the Western boom that took over Hollywood.

Donna W. Guthrie, MFA in Children’s, and Young Adult Writing from University of Vermont.  She has been a writer for over thirty-five years, has published twenty-three books for children, sixty-five educational videos for children, three award-winning documentaries, and six podcasts.
