Home on the Range - Fiddle Tune a Day - Day 288

Signup for Vi Wickam's Fiddle Tune a Day: http://www.vithefiddler.com Home on the Range is one of the tunes we would play as a family when my parents would take me and my brothers over to my grandparents house. To me, Home on the Range is one of those tunes that embodies the cowboy spirit. And, the line "Where the skies are not cloudy all day," always makes me think of Colorado. My Grandma Betty, hasn't been doing very well lately, and I have been visiting her more often. Sometimes she is pretty lucid, and other times she isn't. It's hard for me to see her struggling, and it brings up difficult questions for me about my own life, and what would I want if I was in her situation. It certainly has brought my own mortality closer to my eyes. Home on the Range according to Wikipedia "Home on the Range" is the state song of the American state of Kansas. Dr. Brewster M. Higley (1823--1911) originally wrote the words in a poem called "My Western Home" in the early 1870s inSmith County, Kansas. The poem was first published in a December 1873 issue of the Smith County Pioneer under the title "Oh, Give Me a Home Where the Buffalo Roam". The music was written by a friend of Higley's named Daniel E. Kelley. Higley's original words are similar to those of the song today but not identical. The song was adopted by settlers, cowboys, and others and spread across the USA in various forms. During the early 20th century, it was arranged by Texas composer David W. Guion (1892--1981) who is often credited as the composer. It was officially adopted as the state song of Kansas on June 30, 1947, and is commonly regarded as the unofficial anthem of the American West. "Home on the Range" is often performed in programs and concerts of American patriotic music, and is frequently used in plays and films. These include the 1948 film Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (sung by both Cary Grant and Myrna Loy), the 1967 off-Broadway musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (sung by the cast as a glee club rehearsal number), the 1980 film Where the Buffalo Roam (sung by Neil Young over the opening credits), the 2009 film The Messenger (sung by Willie Nelson over the closing credits), and in the 1946 western film Colorado Serenade (sung by actorRoscoe Ates). The song has naturally also made its way into screen shorts for children and adults, as in the 1954 Looney Tunes cartoon, Claws for Alarm, in which it is sung by Porky Pig. "Home on the Range" has been featured as the state slogan on Kansas vanity license plates since 2005. In contrast to the lyrics, no actual antelope species is native to the Americas, the pronghorn is often called an antelope, however. An arrangement of "Home on the Range" is played by the University of Kansas Marching Jayhawks at the end of all home football games in Memorial Stadium. It was sung on Wizards Of Waverly Place by Maxine (Bailee Madison) whom is the female version of Max Russo. But Max Russo (Jake T. Austin) also sang the end of the song as female Max Russo changed back to normal, male Max Russo. It was also featured on Good Luck Charlie the song was sung at the end of an episode by PJ Duncan (Jason Dolley), Bob Duncan (Eric Allan Kramer), Amy Duncan (Leigh-Allyn Baker) and two others whom were both playing the Kwikki Chikki Founder. The actors names are not known. Both these shows are Disney Channel Original Series' Wizards Of Waverly Place featured the song on the episode "Back to Max" premièring on March 11, 2011. Whereas Good Luck Charlie the song was on the episode 'The Break Up' which aired on May 15, 2011. Therefore Wizards Of Waverly Place used the song before Good Luck Charlie.
