[COULDHAVEBEEN]

Listened to another one of the DSS shows from your website and it refereed to the previous show (not available on the web) and an interview in it with Blair Cowboy Wilson.

Really curious what the Cowboy had to say.

Reason for the interest: Read a book recently titled TENT BOXING by Wayne McLennan. In it McLennan tours with BELLS boxing troupe, and in their travels they encounter JIMMY SHARMAN's rival troupe and the feared, undefeated Cowboy. The book's a great read and it's interesting how the great Cowboy's reputation preceeds him in the eyes of the Murri's from Bell's troupe.

Can you recall what he had to say in the interview DSS??

[DaSweetScience]

The Cowboy is unstoppable in the tents. I'll request to have that one put up online.

It was a very good read. Pity there's not more on the Internet about tent boxing - it's got a long & colourful history that doesn't appear to have been documented very well.

How good would it have been to travel with a tent troupe like McLennan did? A lot of hard work and some frustration but a lot of fun!
