Oh give me a home where the Buffalo roam and I’ll show you a place that’s a mess!

Great find!

A Home on the Range indeed.

I grew up listening to this version...

      "Home On The Range" - Gene Autry

[Fiji Hill]

I have always liked the Vernon Dalhart version of "Home on the Range" which is featured in Steyn's article. Dalhart, the most popular US singer of the 1920s, chronicled the decade's natural and manmade disasters in his hit songs--including the 1925 Santa Barbara earthquake, the 1926 Miami hurricane, the 1927 Mississippi Valley flood, and a methane explosion that killed dozens in West Plains, Mo. in 1928.

Another version I like is Jules Allen's version from 1928. Both of these versions use a different melody from the one most of us know today, which emerged in the early '30s.

I sing that song every time I head out to the firing range.
