The melody came from &ldquo;Good Morning to All,&rdquo; a greeting written in 1893 by two sisters, Patty and Mildred Hill, who taught young children. The birthday verse latched on afterward and traveled the world without asking permission. A long-running copyright claim over the words was finally struck down by a US court in 2016.</p>https://6holeocarina.com/traditional/happy-birthday-to-you/Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://6holeocarina.com/traditional/happy-birthday-to-you/<!-- Generated by scripts/import; regenerated wholesale on re-run.

Two Kentucky sisters, Patty and Mildred Hill, wrote the melody as &ldquo;Good Morning to All&rdquo; in 1893 for the children they taught. The birthday words attached themselves later, and no one is quite sure who first paired them. For most of the twentieth century a publisher claimed the copyright and collected fees, until a US court ruled in 2016 that the familiar lyrics belong to everyone.</p>https://6holeocarina.com/traditional/home-on-the-range/Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://6holeocarina.com/traditional/home-on-the-range/<!-- Generated by scripts/import; regenerated wholesale on re-run.

The words began as a poem, &ldquo;My Western Home,&rdquo; written around 1872 by Brewster Higley, a settler and doctor living in Smith County, Kansas. A neighbor, Daniel Kelley, set it to music, and cowhands carried the tune across the West by ear, changing a line here and there the way songs do when they pass around campfires. Kansas made it the state song in 1947.</p>
