“A Cowboy Song for Elko”
In 1976, singer-songwriter-columnist Mary McCaslin's LP, "Prairie in the Sky" on Rounder Records helped turn on a generation of listeners to the world of traditional American cowboy music. At the 1998 National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, following an introduction by fellow songwriter Gary McMahan, Mary McCaslin treated the Elko audience to a new original song (about a certain "cowtown on the high Nevada plain") inspired by her times at the 1997 Gathering.
