Day 41 (D-20) Before the Rodeo / Cheyenne (TV series) and some music you know

We've finished our road trip across Wyoming, with a cowboy song almost every day.  Tomorrow on the blog we'll be going to a rodeo in Cody before we leave the next day for Yellowstone National Park.  The rodeo, a big event for cowboys! 
I'll keep you in suspense.  Rodeos tomorrow! 

For today, just a little more music and another old television series.

1.  Cheyenne (a television series, 1955 - 1963).  A man named Cheyenne Bodie, a physically large cowboy with a gentle spirit in search of frontier justice wanders the American West.  Bodie's parents were massacred by Indians, the tribe of which is unknown.  He was taken by Cheyenne Indians when he was ten years old, who then raised him.  He left them by choice when he was 18 years old. In the series, the character Bodie has a positive and understanding attitude toward the Native Americans despite the slaughter of his parents.

2. I'm certain you know this song: 
Once Upon A Time in the West  (Farewell to Cheyenne)

3. And another by Ennio Morricone
Once Upon A Time in the West (Finale)

My best,
Jane
