The Littleton Chorale ushers in Western Welcome Week with a concert celebrating our western heritage and the pioneer spirit of exploration and expansion.  This concert promises to be a unique and exciting addition to Western Welcome Week and will feature the engaging cowboy poet and singer-songwriter Al "Doc" Mehl.  How The West Was Sung will feature some of the most well-known cowboy and campfire songs along with Broadway hits and popular country and western tunes.

Hailing from Boulder, Colorado, Al “Doc” Mehl traces his family roots to central Kansas, where his grandfather raised six children on the family homestead.  With one foot in the past and one in the present, Al weaves the history and the mystery of the West into his original poetry and music.  He has performed in cowboy poetry festivals from Denver to Durango, from El Paso to Cheyenne.  His debut music CD is titled “Asphalt Cowboy,” and his second music CD, titled “I’d Rather Be…” was released in 2008.  Al has also published a CD of original poetry titled “Cowboy Pottery.”  Poet Doris Daley describes his work as “refreshing, original, witty, and loaded with clever wordplay about contemporary cowboy life.”
