Free Kindle Dusty And Lefty: The Lives Of The Cowboys ebooks Download
Lefty: Haven't you read about the dangers of drinking? Dusty: I have. And it led me to give up reading. Like the News from Lake Wobegon and Guy Noir, Private Eye, The Lives of the Cowboys sketch has become a signature part of A Prairie Home Companion. Each week, radio listeners can't wait to hear Lefty's latest poem and Dusty's latest rant. In six complete sketches drawn from the radio show, the two pardners cope with hangovers and citrusy aftershave, try to get in the Christmas mood (not much luck there), meet a vampire, drive a herd of 10,000 free range chickens, tangle with a territorial poet named Big Messer, pay a visit to the New York Public Library, and wind up in the San Luis Obispo County Jail for mistaking a cocker spaniel for a coyote. Each is a glimpse into daily life in and mostly out of the saddle. Includes four songs.Garrison Keillor stars as Lefty; Tim Russell as Dusty; with Sue Scott, Tom Keith, and Danielle De Vecchio, and Julie Boyd.

The reviews are mostly negative here. I just got this for my dad, and he says it's good *and* funny. He's an old-school listener though, so for newbies, the Dusty and Lefty you may have seen in Robert Altman's movie are not the Dusty and Lefty of the real radio show. If you're familiar with the radio show, and the 'Lives of Cowboys' skits, you'll more than likely enjoy this CD release. As a side note I'd highly recommend subscribing to Garrison's weekly monologue, 'The News From Lake Wobegon', if you have I-Tunes. It's a free weekly podcast, taken directly from the Saturday afternoon radio broadcasts. It's updated about mid-week, and well worth your effort if you can't catch the weekly radio show.
This is a single CD - 1.2 hours of play with 10 skits. These are not new skits - they were recorded live from the radio program and compiled into a CD. If you're already a fan, you'll love it. If not, it will probably make you one...
These two from our Prairie Home Companion are fun to listen to in spite of their disagreements. I think the funniest one is when they are herding free range chickens.
These skits sound like some of the first Dusty and Lefty skits they did, and they are not as well developed or entertaining as they became later.
Great classic entrainment that will stand the test of time. Anything you need to know, you can learn from Dusty &Lefty.
Have enjoyed listening to radio broadcasts in the past, but don't always find a radio station that airs them AND listen at the appropriate times! Enjoy being able to listen to a good collection of such broadcasts by the likes of Garrison Keillor with his cast and guests.
This was a gift and my friend thought it was hilarious. Garrison Keillor always comes through in his Saturday evening shows.
This is sooooo funny and entertaining! I love it and have passwed it around to other friends for their enjoyment!
