There was a time when the radio airwaves were full of songs about cowboys ridin' the range and sleeping under the stars of the western sky. But those tunes have vanished and are now just relics on your public radio station. What happened to those cowboy songs? Was their disappearance a coincidence or a conspiracy? This question has vexed a generation of radio listeners. KBOO launched a double secret investigation  in to this mystery and made a startling discovery. Tune in October 22nd as Retta Christie and I ask the musical question "Where have all the cowboys gone?" The answer may surprise you. Listener discretion is advised.
