Christmas Cowboy
We just were in Calgary, Alberta in western Canada visiting family. I don't know about at your house during the holidays, but with ours, old photos always seem to come from out of the closets. A great way to go to the museum without having to get all bundled up,let me tell you! :)This particular one caught my eye, of Rod McLeod, Army and Navy Singing Cowboy. We first thought it had something to do with the Military, but instead a store called the Army & Navy sponsored a regular half-hour radio show featuring amateur musicians and singers. If you go to this link http://www.albertaslim.com/aslifest.htm you can read all about the lifestyle these real men lived in the early part of the 20th century.

It’s that time of year again! I’m doing the rounds and apologising for my complete failure to more regularly offer comment on everybody’s incredible efforts for the year. I know how hard it can be to keep up with the daily grind of everyday posting, and want to thank you for your efforts.
I especially want to wish festive greetings for all from down here at [nearly] the end of the world, the bottom of Tasmania.

Thanks for this Rod McLeod was my cousin on my Dad's side. I knew he was a singing cowboy but did not know much about his career.
