Uh-huh.
Nate WilcoxHOST
John Lomax, who, you know, wrote cowboy songs and other frontier ballads, discovered Home on the Range, et cetera.
Nate WilcoxHOST
And then with his son, Alan later went out and, you know, did things like record a young Muddy Waters in the Mississippi, uh, Delta plantation where he grew up for the Smithsonian, and so this incredibly important family for, uh, American folk music.
Nate WilcoxHOST
But you connect them-
Nate WilcoxHOST
Um, but, but very classic.
Nate WilcoxHOST
And then, you know, in the book you also talk about some of the other connections that the Lomax's had made, and two of them were songwriters.
Nate WilcoxHOST
One, Henry Leaverman, who's, uh, best known for Home on the Range.
Nate WilcoxHOST
And then-
Nate WilcoxHOST
And that was the version that Alan Lomax captured in 1937, and like you said, he, he, he collected it and published it in, in a book, and then this book is picked up by people you mentioned, Lead Belly and, and Josh White and, and Woody Guthrie and the Weavers that, that we would call the first folk revivalists, or they created the concept, they were creating the concept of what we know as American folk music, and one thing you mentioned that this wasn't the only song that Lomax has brought to light that is now considered a standard.
Nate WilcoxHOST
They also, uh, brought out Home on the Range, Good Night Irene, The Midnight Special, Bone Parts Retreat, et cetera, et cetera.
Nate WilcoxHOST
So this is just a part of a massive contribution to culture that the Lomax's made.
Ted AnthonyGUEST
It very much is, and it's kind of staggering to look back and to see how many songs we take for granted now had their fingers on it.
Alex RawlsHOST
In my experience, particularly with Christmas music, good titles tend to be associated with good songs, and uninspired titles are attached to uninspired songs.
Alex RawlsHOST
I expected little from Merry Bells, and I'm still not sure it's a really good song, but I am entertained by it because it's a rewrite of Home on the Range for the holidays.
Alex RawlsHOST
See what you think.
Stompin' Tom ConnorsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Oh, give me the time when the merry bells chime, and the mistletoe hangs in the hall.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
you don't like it, go on the internet and complain.
speaker_8SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Number five Indiana will sing Home on the Range to the Howard Bison.
speaker_8SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm sorry, who is that? No.
speaker_8SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
9 Ole Miss won't miss against the Charlotte 49ers.
Pat BrennanHOST
And I think they kept breaking during it.
Pat BrennanHOST
They kept laughing because it was so ridiculous that they were singing Home on the Range right now, which I love.
Pat BrennanHOST
I think Bellamy, the more you watch this film, you realize how good Bellamy is in this.
Pat BrennanHOST
And obviously you have Dunn and Grant as the leads, but He steals some scenes.
Pat BrennanHOST
He's stealing this scene to me right here.
Pat BrennanHOST
He's so into singing Home on the Range.
Pat BrennanHOST
I love it.
Pat BrennanHOST
So you can kind of tell her breaking there I think is her actually breaking.

Brian WiseHOST
Hey, it's interesting that Home on the Range, which is one of the interpretations you do, starts with some really kind of weird guitar effects.
Brian WiseHOST
And I was reminded of when I saw your, I think, the first or second concert in Melbourne.
Brian WiseHOST
My wife was with me for that one.
