Ep. 116
David Gilmour interviews Lynn Kopelke, Cowboy Poet – Lynn makes his home just outside of Enumclaw, Washington. In between seventeen years as an itinerant stage and commercial actor and twenty-plus years in retail western wear, Lynn cowboyed in Eastern Washington. It left a mark. He started writing and performing cowboy poetry in the early part of this century. When he found himself out of work in early 2013, he picked up his pencils and acrylics and has been trying to represent the American West on paper and canvas as best he can. Brandings, pack strings, TV, and movies with the West itself as the backdrop provide all the material he needs. With pictures and words, he tries to share the West he lives in and loves with as many people as he can. His thriving ragwort farm and cat ranch lie five miles due north of the old pickle factory. If you’re in the neighborhood, stop on by.
