This based on a song I uploaded to YouTube in various versions and in various languages on various channels, mine as well as on channels of friends. I recently came across the original pre-edited voice tracks and the music track demo. Listening to them, I decided to edit the voice tracks and the music track demo into a much shorter song conveying a very different message. I edited and remastered the song, creating a new song a good bit less than one half the length of what I did two years ago. Moreover, to reflect its new nature, I decided not to use the old name of "Daddy's Ox Trot". Instead, I renamed it "Daddy's Cattle: A South Asian Cowboy's Song" and, to emphasize its separate identity, have no plans to upload to YouTube. The artwork was commissioned by me from a Nepali artist and the copyright for this, too, is mine. It is recycled from "Daddy's Ox Trot", though also edited so that it better fits the new song and, in its details, is not the same as what appears elsewhere. The copyright for "Daddy's Cattle: A South Asian Cowboy's Song", as well as for all versions of Daddy's Ox Trot on all YouTube channels on which that song appears belongs solely to me. This song is meant to replicate the perspective of the fast disappearing rural cultures of the Hindu, Buddhist, and Animist regions of South and Southeast Asia.
