...debut as a rodeo rider, Monty Milhous, 19, was ignominiously tossed by a Brahma bull called Old Brindle. Earlier in the Fresno, Calif., show President Nixon's second cousin had another brief tangle-five seconds of the required eight-second ride-with a mean old mule named Khrushchev...

Nearly every one of Britten's works is charming; in fact, so is nearly every British and American work that is ever performed. Billy the Kid, Rodeo, Red Pony, Appalachian Spring, The Incredible Flutist, and Tender Land are all charming.

Woody Guthrie's socialist hymn to Pretty Boy Floyd gets an authentic bluegrass treatment here, and Blue Canadian Rockies, an old Gene Autry tune, will bring back memories of the Hollywood cowboy astride his horse Champion, galloping through "the golden poppies. . . 'round the banks of Lake Louise." Two Bob Dylan songs, Nothing Was Delivered...
