Publisher's summary

“I always wanted to be a cowboy...”

Journey through the dusty plains of Texas and the rugged mountains of Colorado in author Jim Duke’s debut, Dances with Donkeys: The Memoir Of A Half-Assed Cowboy—the often hilarious, occasionally poignant, sometimes hair-raising, and always entertaining tales of a man who dropped out of high school and took off for Texas to become a cowboy.

In this captivating memoir, Duke recounts his adventures and ass-inine misadventures with mules, donkeys and horses as he introduces listeners to the complexity and variety of personalities among these intelligent creatures. Through prose and poetry, he shows the deep bond that can form between humans and equines.

Whether you're a fan of cowboy culture or just love a good memoir, Dances with Donkeys is reminiscent of cowboy poet laureate Baxter Black with a twist in the saddle. You'll laugh your "ass" off and come away with a whole new understanding of why little boys and girls grow up dreaming of being cowboys. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind journey into the heart of the American West.

Dances with Donkeys: The Memoir of a Half-Assed Cowboy
Jim Duke: author
Roger Williams III : Narrator






4 STARS


A collection of humorous cowboy tales that will keep the listener amused. Some were laugh out loud, others were “You’ve Got To Be Kidding!” Amazing he survived to write his memoir. Fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

The narration was done by Roger Williams III. His voice was OK, but there was no inflection until about half way through the book.
