From pianist to cowboy-composer – Wikipedia section header s.v. “David W. Guion”


“From pianist to cowboy-composer” is used

     As a head for his bio online;

Composer and cowboy have seldom been fused,

     As professions they’ve rarely combined.

In any event, I am charmed and amused

     By this quirk in the cosmic design.
