Some time back, I referred to telephone recordings made by “Lonesome Cowboy Tim”. These used to run on a (secret) telephone number in San Francisco, and the story changed from time to time. The story in general was that Lonesome Cowboy Tim lived out on the prairie with a lot of critters, and they had various adventures which were very, very funny.
It seems that lots of Cowboy Tim fans still remember those days. I heard from Frank Mitford from south Florida and several others. Some of them have recordings.
In an attempt to bring these recordings back to the world, I’ve registered “lonesomecowboytim.com“, and will be putting a website up in that location. Hopefully, I’ll be able to garner recordings and post them there, and perhaps some other fans would like to help with this project, so that you can return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear.
Lonesome Cowboy Tim will ride again!


I was going through my things last night when I found a hand written letter ( a lot of backwards letters ) from Lonesome cowboy Tim ! seems him and Darlene Poot were off to see the world ! and she was bugging her to marry her ! What a find ! the letter is still in great shape !
Yeh, the Cowboy was a profligate correspondent. And the Poot … well, she’s just the Poot. It’s just natural, I suppose.
But you know, having that letter … you are one lucky groundhog, I reckon.
