How To Use This Site

This blog was updated on a daily basis for about two years, with those daily entries ceasing on December 31, 2013. The blog is still active, however, and we hope that people stopping in, who find something lacking, will add to the daily entries.

The blog still receives new posts as well, but now it receives them on items of Wyoming history. That has always been a feature of the blog, but Wyoming's history is rich and there are many items that are not fully covered here, if covered at all. Over time, we hope to remedy that.

You can obtain an entire month's listings by hitting on the appropriate month below, or an individual day by hitting on that calendar date. Use 2013 for the search date, as that's the day regular dates were established and fixed.

Alternatively, the months are listed immediately below, with the individual days appearing backwards (oldest first).

We hope you enjoy this site.

Lex Anteinternet: Wyoming Music and Friday Farming: Leavin' Cheyenn...: 

Wyoming Music and Friday Farming: Leavin' Cheyenne (Goodbye Old Paint).


This old cowboy ballad is a classic, and this is my favorite version of it.  It was written by black cowboy Charlie Willis, and was first included in musical indices in 1921.  It's regarded as one of the top 100 Western songs of all times.

Concerning the song, it's a true example of a "Western" song, a genera that's all but disappeared, having been absorbed by Country & Western music.
