The Wranglers are pretty much the house band for a cowboy-type experience in Durango.  I imagine they sell their CDs at the show.  Track 9 is a cute rearrangement of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”  Yum!  Track 11 is a rearrangement of “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart.”

See you on Monday for some possibly uncomfortable relics of past American musical life.
