Window On The West Performers
 PERRY JACOBSON
Perry was a working cowboy for the first half of his life before joining the Warden Service where he retired as Chief Park Warden of Banff National Park in 2000. Prior to joining the Warden Service, Perry ranched with his Parents near Medicine Hat and Millarville, Alberta. He also spent many years of his mis-spent youth as a rodeo cowboy.
Perry’s love, respect and knowledge of the cowboy life is captured in the writing and performing of his poetry and songs. His work strives to maintain the rich culture and tradition of the western way of life. His compositions, whether it’s song or poetry, are a reflection of his experience in ranching, rodeo, and working in the pristine wilderness areas of our National Parks.
Perry was also the lead singer of the band “Latigo” from 2000 to 2008. The band traveled extensively in the Prairie Provinces plus a tour to the East Coast in 2006 and Arizona in the spring of 2008. Latigo produced two CD’s; “Kansas In The Fall” and “The Drifter”.
Perry is currently the Past President of the Alberta Cowboy Poetry Association.
