title: Cowboy Song
author: Gubber, Norm
description: Watch as the drama of a cowboy's life unfolds to reveal a tale that parallels his art form. Like the words in a song sung since childhood, his courtship of the girl of his dreams begins to trace a similar path. And in this new relationship, a new chart emerges, one destined to nullify events of the former version. His new music, however, cannot counteract the inevitable. In the ancient lyrics, the heroine succumbs to fret and loneliness as a result of misunderstanding. A similar tragedy befalls our modern sweetheart. In this updated story, a cowboy named Jack is given a second chance to mollify the heartbreak as expressed in the old ballad. And from lyrics that haunt the refrain, he creates a new song and finds another person to sing it to.
