The organizers of
the Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City needed an expert to write a
piece describing the West, its people, its spirit, and its connection
to the steadfastness and dedication of hopeful athletes. They didn't hire
a Historian or an English professor they hired a Cowboy. That No Quit
Attitude is the title track on the new release by Waddie Mitchell and
is one of fourteen new poems, thoughtful memories and humorous studies
on human and animal nature! In between each track is a Waddie-ism, short
observations and dry quips that roll from Mitchell's mind like tumbleweeds
across a Nevada highway. Special guests include Don Edwards and the Sons
of the San Joaquin. |
