This is a western-themed show based on old cowboy ballads. We open with a western movie-style fanfare and then move into an up-tempo version of "Red River Valley". There is a contrasting woodwind interlude on "Streets of Laredo" then a return to the opening theme. Next, there is a beautiful ballad based on "Home on the Range" with some nice flowing counter-melodies. The finale begins with "Whoopee-Ti-Yi-Yo", a real western barn burner! There is a ripping percussion interlude on "Turkey in the Straw", then a reprise of the opening fanfare with a big finish as we ride off into the sunset!
