Episode Summary: In this episode of Cowboy Cantos, Jason Curtman shares a true tale from his family’s past, wrapped in rhyme and rich with character. “No Gravy for John” recounts a humorous moment involving his great-grandfather, Brother John Britton—a beloved preacher with quiet wisdom—and a mischievous mutt with a taste for trouble. Originally featured in Missions In The Mountains by Mrs. H.W. Darst, this poetic retelling blends heritage, humor, and heart. It’s a story of restraint, respect, and a bowl of gravy that went to the dog.
