cherie and the cowboy
Cherie was a chanteuse. She said, "I call m'self Cherie. Thass all the name ya need-like Hildegarde. I won a amateur contest down in Joplin, Missouri, and that got me a job in a night club in Kanz City. But working in a night club ain't all roses..."
Bo Decker had his picture taken by Life magazine because he was a champion professional rodeo rider. Bo had heard about women only he'd hardly ever seen one. Bo was a large, beautiful hunk of a
man-but green as new grass when it came to Cherie.
Bo and Cherie got together when they were stranded at a bus stop one night.
Their story is one of high humor-a mixture of brag, heartache, bluster, and the funniest tough love affair ever put on stage, screen, or between the covers of a book. It is filled with comedy, compassion and tenderness-
