Cowgirl Dreams

Vern Goslin has a song country and western song I like called ‘This Ain’t My first Rodeo.’ He suspects his love is cheating on him and he’s been through that before, hence the title of the song.

My father had a record collection of country songs when I was young. Much to my mother’s dismay but my pleasure he played them often.

I wasn’t influenced by the beautiful women on reality shows as we didn’t have a TV. My idea of my future was not a model but to be a cowgirl, go out West ( Alberta) ride the range and take part in rodeos. Of course I would learn to play guitar and yodel like Gene Audrey on those old records. Never did master that talent.

Needless to add, I was horse crazy and a tomboy. My aunt had a beautiful Arabian stallion she would sometimes let me ride on. When she wasn’t around with her horse, I would ride bareback on father’s work horses. They weren’t impressed and I often got bucked off. This did not deter me from my dreams of riding the open range on a beautiful horse, yodelling my heart out.

Dreams of rodeo riding changed in my teens when I went from horse crazy to boy crazy....
