About ten years ago I was crazed at w-west. I played videogames like Call of Juarez and Gun, played bluegrass harmonica, and wore a statson.
And I was wondering what those cowboys did then? How did they spend their times at farms?
Being honestly I didn't care about how they spend time in societies, because I'm not a social person, not an extrovert, but it was interesting, especially having watched all those movies like "Proposition", "The Stranger", "The last Outlaw", and spagetti-western series of films. In addition to it, I played in a lovely strategy game "Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive" (2001), where all those things were mixed together.
I was interested in many aspects of music of those times, however those melodies mostly were simple and required not much skills to get them. I remember some themes "Red Haired Boy", "Turkey in the Straw", "Chattanooga Cho-Cho", "Shenandoah", "Orange Blossom Special", and "Cajun Songs".
What was really interesting for me was their meals. I wondered how did they cooked their meals and where? Surely it's about cowboys in the fields. If a cowboy went hunting what food instruments did he take with him? Or how he equip himself as a cook? Surely they took knives - that's for certain - but what kind of knives, and did they have forks or spoons?
And also I was interesting about their clothes: where did they took all those jeans and other materials? And so on.

The United States is a very interesting and diverse place. Every civilization has its classical period, that period they look back to where they can say, "that era right there epitomizes our culture." Japan looks back to feudal Japan, Greece the city-states of Athens and Sparta, Mexico the Aztecs, etc, sometimes they have different multiple classical periods like England also having the Victorian era but these eras tend to overlap on the same territorial space. But in the US, different regions have different classical periods that do not overlap with one another. In the West it is the Wild West cowboy days, here in the Deep South it is the Antebellum South and the plantation days, in New England it is New England under the Puritans, in Appalachia and the Upland South its the frontier days of Andrew Jackson, Davy Crockett, and Daniel Boone with the log cabins and coon skinned caps and so on and so forth. Just an interesting thing I've noticed.  |
