Cowboy Poetry: The Pride ‘N’ Spirit O’ Nevada
Please join us at the Nevada State Museum in Carson City, Thursday, August 28, 6:30 - 7:30 pm for a fun-filled evening featuring Cowboy Poetry: "The Pride 'N' Spirit O' Nevada" by Tony Argento, a member of the Fremont Howitzer Recovery Team.
Tony calls his style o’ recitin’ "Tuned up and Twisted." Once you see him perform, you’ll know why. A common statement heard from the audience is, "He’s quite animated." He does voice animation an’ vocal sound effects an’ makes good use o’ props. His love o’ cowboy poetry is contagious, especially to his audience.
According to Argento, cowboy poetry has been ‘round since the years followin’ the Civil War. It’s unique form continues to show the cowboy an’ the American West is alive with stories o’ elevated humor, patriotism, serious an’ solemn verse. It’s a great source o’ entertainment for the entire family.
