This one-act play, written by Frank South and directed by Robert Altman, features a monologue by a man who left a stable life in Kentucky to pursue his dreams of becoming a cowboy in the West. The play begins as the man sits alone in a ramshackle one-room shack, listening to country-and-western music. His vivid imagination conjures up an actual musician, who sits in the room with him, playing guitar and singing songs with him. As the songs become increasingly depressing, the man turns off his radio, chasing the musician from the room.

One of my holy grails! Hope you can score Altman’s The Laundromat, too
This is great. Story and acting is among the best. Have copy and watched it many times. Had a effect on me. Became a fan of Leo and watched his other works. He died too young. Sad.
Great to have this. Any chance of locating Altman’s other Frank South adaptation, Precious Blood?
