THE SHOW!
The Last Best
West is the most "nearly true" cowboy show in Canada. Through
dialogue, stories, songs and visual enhancements, Jim illustrates that the Canadian Cowboy played a key role in the early
development of our great land. Event Organizers, Tour Directors, and
Community Organizations will agree The Last Best West is a
refreshing change from routine speaker or concert venues. Jim's
'period' songwriting caps off a unique
style of entertainment and education --- it's an edu-tainment
concept!.
THE SET!
The Last Best
West has a simple, yet effective "set":
it includes a simulated campfire with horse tack inside a half/moon corral fence complete
with sagebrush, tumbleweed and horned cattle skulls!
It is
self-contained and can be modified to any area inside or out.
THE MUSIC!
Jim performs some familiar
old cowboy/western tunes, and many of his own original songs. His descriptions of land, people, animals, and their interrelationships are so
vivid you'll smell the sage and taste the traildust.
THE STORIES & COWBOY
POEMS!
The story-lines are
'mostly' historically correct, but ya can't blame a poke for enhancin' the
truth a tad! The Cowboy has had the single-most major
lasting impact of any character on the development of North American
culture, and Jim focuses on "The Code of the West", and how we can use its
principles of integrity, honestly, courtesy, manners and respect in
today's world.
THE VISUALS!
The history that Jim
has compiled is extensive. The visual augmentation is the real
uniqueness to Jim's show. There are over 150 historical slides and graphics
that helps the audience "stay-in-tune" with what the show's
content. (lap top to LCD
projector to big screen).
