Seems that foreigners like our old west lore. I remember that Leonid Brezhnev would stay up late in the Kremlin watching Westerns.
Though I suspect he wasn't a fan of this "Western":

Perhaps the following vintage country western tunes by Louisiana groups will be heard:
- "Tu Peus Pas Me Fair Ce" by The Alley Boys of Abbeville (1938)
- "Va Veuvre de la Coulee" by Happy Fats & The Rayne-Bo Ramblers (1940)
- "Jolie Blon" by Harry Choates & His Melody Boys" (1946)

There was a fantastic book that came out over 10 years ago, I think, about the West, a kind of humorous coffee table book on the history, lore, and kitcsh. It was written by a husband and wife, IIRC. I can’t remember the name of it, and it’s driving me crazy, because I didn’t buy it then (I worked in a bookstore too!), and I want to, and I don’t remember the title!

We would welcome French visitors out here in the “real” west.
