Which took me to: New York Public Library Invites a Deep Digital Dive – The New York Times
And on to:
Public Domain Collections: Free to Share & Reuse | The New York Public Library
where I searched:
Search results – “cowboy” – NYPL Digital Collections
And followed:
Cowboys on the range–an autumn beef roundup, Montana, U.S.A. – NYPL Digital Collections
Which linked to:

And so:
Using Freesound.org – “The Only Harmonica in The West” by IrishCinema and my Gifmovie plugin which Mariana’s post: Riding to Western 106 country reminded me of.
A little Fun and Serendipity on a rainy afternoon.
Ha! Lovely find, I wish we could have an audio function on Tumblr….we could have an archive with all our audio gifs made with Gifmovie…I cannot stop listening to the music, it os so haunting.
Lovely exploration of open in your rainy afternoon.
