Sagebrush to Steppe

Photo by Teresa Jordan   11/27/05 NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday Length: 14:35 ~ Listen   The language barrier is bridged with song when American cowboys travel to Mongolia and ride horseback across the Steppe with the nomadic herdsmen of this wide-open country. This trip completed a cultural exchange that began in 2004 when a group of Mongolian herdsmen/musicians performed at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko. Read Hal Cannon's Postcards from Mongolia in our Connect section. "What a captivating story you tell about the Mongolian experience. Great radio."         Margo Metegrano         cowboypoetry.com
