Corny jokes! Cowboy crooning! Lasso tricks! Rubber-faced mugging! Ukelele strumming! Yodeling pyrotechnics! Yes folks, all this and much more can be yours at the only Freight show this year where you can witness a man in a ten gallon hat yodel, play accordion, two-step, and twirl a lariat - all at the same time. Cowboy songster, sagebrush comic, guitarist, accordionist, and savvy showman Sourdough Slim, who was raised on a cattle ranch in the Sierra Foothills, transports us to a whimsical, infectious world where vaudevillian camp and cowboy lore intermingle, producing grins galore. Slim has released close to a dozen albums, most recently a ten-year retrospective titled The Best Of Sourdough Slim (Roundup), featuring a generous helping of the truly astounding yippee-ti-yi style that won him the 2001 Will Rogers Award for Yodeler of the Year. Robert Armstrong, renowned for his guitar and musical saw playing with the Cheap Suit Serenaders, will join the festivities as featured guest.
