My Aunt use to have napkins with the name of an organisation called the Cowbells. It was for the wives of men who belonged to a particular cattle association. Is this the same or is there another meaning behind it all?

I have to ask what is the significance with the word cowbells under your messages. It just happen to bring back a childhood memory and didn't know if it meant the same with you.

Well, I also have a thing about cow bells. When my mother was a young girl, and they were selling off the bits of her beloved Grandparents farm after their death, she took the only thing that mattered to her. Which if fact, was the only thing her grandfather took with him from his home when he emigrated to America. An old cowbell. Nothing could remind him 'more of home than the sound of that bell' was his reasoning.
In the kitchen, of their house to this day, some 65 years later, hangs the cow bell. Years ago when my mother was asking what from the house I would like (to inherit was what she meant like china, chrystal, etc...): without hesitation I said 'just the cow bell'.
Cowbell also is a reference to one of the funniest Saturday Night Live skits in the last 10 years. If you goople it you'll see many, many references come up. It is used as an expression by those in the know and has become a part of lexicon of American English.
If something is just not right, you need more cow bell.

In a not so distant land....
through hell and high water, deception and betrayal,
two lonely souls struggle to keep their love alive.
Faced with menacing conveyer belts and the threat of a butcher's knife, they find solace in music...
this is a story of a bull and a cow
in magical place called....
