Owen Badgett and Bob Petermann in Spearfish, SD
October 21, 2010 – Spearfish, South Dakota. Owen appeared with singer Bob Petermann (also featured on Owen’s documentary DVD) at the Western High Plains Heritage Center in a show that was also featured on radio. Cowboy poet Owen Badgett and western ballad singer Bob Petermann wowed the Spearfish SD High Plains Western Heritage Center crowd with music and verse in their tales of the west. Host Francie Ganje also entertained the crowd and the performers with her commentary and wit. The first hour was for the radio, and the second part of the show was just for the audience there. Badgett and Petermann performed solo poetry and songs and mixed music and verse together with selections like “The Streets of Laredo.” Owen Badgett is featured in the documentary “The Gypsy Cowman,” with three books to his credit, “Made of Iron,” “Rawhide and Velvet,” and “A Deep Seat and a Faraway Look,” with another book scheduled for release soon. Petermann’s music is available on CD: “Thanks for the Rain,” and “Taking up Slack.” It was a grand evening.
