This unique presentation introduces early nighthawk tunes, once used by working cowboys to keep their herds settled at night. McDonald will share melodies from Thomas Moore\u2019s Irish Melodies, as well as the works of Stephen Foster and George F. Root, bringing history to life through music. The program will conclude with cowboy poetry set to his original western-style compositions, celebrating the storytelling traditions of the American West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event is open to all ages, but seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Join us on April 10th at 6:00 pm for an evening of history, music, and poetry that captures the spirit of the open range.
