Home on the Range, Probably by The Cricketones, 1950s

 Gramma Nettie's Old Time Radio Memories.

"Home on the Range" is a classic cowboy song, sometimes called the "unofficial anthem" of the American West.  It was written about 1872, and became the Kansas state song in 1947.   (Wikipedia -- Home on the Range, 2023),

Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Connie Francis, Gene Autry, Boxcar Willie, Burl Ives, Pete Seeger, Slim Whitman all sang this song.  Also became the theme opening music for early Westerns about "The Three Mesqueteers." (Wikipedia -- Home on the Range, 2023)

 For more historical background (probably more creditable than Wikipedia), and for historical photos, check out Ballad of America's article here.

For information on the meaning of the song, American Songwriter has an article called "Behind the Meaning of the Cowboy Classic 'Home On the Range'" found here.

I do not own this music, nor do I have any rights to it. I do, however, own the record ;-}
