Description
An old cowboy sought shelter with a farmer after a long days ride. As was common in those days the cowboy built a campfire and began to pick his guitar and sing old cowboy songs. To his surprise, the farmer soon joined in with his bass fiddle. Soon, two other cowboys, one with a mandolin and the other with a harmonica came riding in out of the dark playing along. The old cowboy couldn’t help but smile when a band of gypsies, still in their wagons, appeared with their violins piercing the air.
