Song of the Canyon Kid or Poem on the Range

Book excerpt: WELCOME HOME, CANYON KID... NOW REACH FOR THE SKY! When a straight shooting, and guitar strumming singing cowboy known as The Canyon Kid returns to Dirt Clod, Missouri, he finds his hometown in the grips of a tyrannical albino "hanging judge" named Basil Kadaver and his evil co-horts, including the slinky gypsy seductress Nastassia Kinky and her half-witted brother, Two Gun Boris. To make matters worse for The Kid, he also discovers that his childhood sweetheart, Darla Darling, is engaged to a known desperado who is now the town sheriff. This fast paced story culminates in a knockdown, drag out slug-fest on the streets of Dirt Clod when justice at last triumphs and The Canyon Kid saves the day. SONG OF THE CANYON KID or POEM ON THE RANGE, Scott Cherney's wild and wooly comedy western melodrama, is jam-packed with romance, action and laughs. The cast requires 5 men and 4 women. Performance rights are available.
