I have a saloon scene in my new release, "Promise Me" and did a lot of research on this topic. They also had "hurdy-gurdy" machines in the houses of ill-repute, and so the women and the music became linked. But sometimes, all a man wanted to do was hold a woman in his arms and dance.

There a very few places we can go where we wouldn't see another person or family for months at a time. When something is rare, it is appreciated and cherished. I've read accounts of miners coming out just to be able to see a woman passing through with her family. We think of miners and trappers as rough, rowdy men not caring about anything but money, drinking and loose women. We often forget that many were men trying to make a better life for themselves and their families. Good post. Enjoyed it. We really do take our “civilization” for granted.

Wow. Hard to imagine just how huge the west was and the isolated lives so many lived. I've read some fascinating memoirs of pioneer prairie life, children who'd been born and raised in that ocean of sod, and really saw so few people at all in their lifetime.

Yeah, that "No kicking the orchestra" cracked me up too :-D I learned about the Hurdy-Gurdie Girls during those history courses back in college, just another colorful image to fuel my western romance imagination that stuck with me. Cheryl's post on <a href="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/2007/11/08/harvey-girls-the-women-who-tamed-the-wild-frontier/" rel="nofollow">the Harvey Girls</a> is a favorite of mine, and has some similarities.
