One Headliner From Montana
Storytelling Publishes Book |
||
Ever feel like you’re stuck in a spot you don’t really like? Maybe
you just got passed over for promotion, or like a lot of folks, have way
too much month left at the end of the money, and honestly yearn for a simpler
and less cluttered life. Escape, at least for a moment or two, is actually
possible.
Can you imagine what it’s really like to ride horseback all alone across the wild wind swept Montana prairie, or to hear weathered old cowboys talk of actually meeting members of the Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid’s Wild Bunch gang of outlaws? Thanks to “Yesterdays Yarns”, you can have a front row seat to some Real Tales from the Real West. Whether it is in finding side-splitting humor in the midst of pain on a Montana ranch, or relating a hundred year old story that has been handed down for generations, Ken |
Overcast has a flair for bringing the Real West to life. If the Hollywood
version of the American West has ever stirred the repressed cowboy in your
soul, just imagine the thrill of sitting cross-legged around the glowing
embers of a roundup fire and listening to a real cowboy spin tales of cattle
rustlers, comical horse wrecks, and far-fetched yarns of every description.
Some of these stories are as accurate as they can possibly be a hundred years or so after the fact, but many are so implausible it would take an extremely vivid imagination to believe a single word. While still others are a uniquely clever combination of fact and baloney, all are definitely entertaining. Ken Overcast is a lifelong Montana cowboy, and lives and breathes the Western way of life. Overcast has been a headliner during the annual Storytelling Roundup held here in Cut Bank every spring. He is a recording cowboy singer, produced CDs, and entertains audiences all over with his music and poetry. “Yesterday’s Yarns” is published by Bear Valley Press. Locally readers and fans can purchase a copy of “Yesterday’s Yarns” at: Glacier Gateway Inn (Cut Bank), Printy’s Crafts (Cut Bank), Faught’s Trading Post (Browning), and The Wooden Spoon (East Glacier) or may be ordered directly by phoning toll free number 888-753-7611. From the editor’s desk, this is a very funny book. It is a great idea for Father’s Day gifts. I mostly enjoyed the old time stories and the laughable adventures Overcast so uniquely describes.
