Troubadours on Horseback: The History of Singing Cowboys
2019-05-16 19:00 - 21:00
The Palmer Lake Historical Society Presents:
“Troubadours on Horseback: The History of Singing Cowboys”
A presentation by Donna Guthrie

On Thursday, May 16, at 7:00 p.m., the Palmer Lake Historical Society invites the public to the Palmer Lake Town Hall, 28 Valley Crescent Street, in Palmer Lake, to hear a musical lecture that celebrates the Western boom that took over Hollywood in the 1930’s and the creation of the singing cowboy. The simple melodies, harmonies, and instrumentation of cowboy songs is told through music, slides and movie clips.
Cowboy songs were written to glorify the life of the cowboy and the “Wild West.” Gene Autrey, Roy Rogers and Tex Ritter are but a few of the familiar names from the 1930s whose music was part of the era of singing cowboys in Western movies. That era came to a close with the advent of television. Television shows which starred “singing cowboys” ended by the close of the 1950s. But the tradition of the singing cowboy took root decades earlier. Based on amateur poetry published in stockmen’s journals in the late 19th century, the words were set to music by cowhands with time on their hands, similar to the origin of sea chanteys and lumberjack tunes.
Donna Guthrie is a Colorado Springs-based author of more than 20 children’s books and producer of online educational videos. Her ideas have benefited the community, brought people together, and advanced causes. She is a former member of the Pikes Peak Library District board.
This event is free and open to all. Light refreshments will be served after the presentation. For more information, visit www.palmerdividehistory.org.

The issue of cyber security has become a central focus of companies, big and small, across all industries. As more individuals and small businesses become increasingly dependent on our networked and interconnected infrastructure, cybercrime and cyber criminals have become much more sophisticated in their techniques for stealing identities and using them to extract funds and make fraudulent purchases. Join the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, May 15 from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce (166 2nd St., Monument) for a free session to understand how your small business may be at risk and what you can do to protect your customers and your assets.
