David Guion (15 December 15, 1892 – 17 October 1981) was a composer whose music and arrangements contributed to the fad for singing cowboys.
Prairie Song
From pianist to cowboy-composer – Wikipedia section header s.v. “David W. Guion”
“From pianist to cowboy-composer” is used
As a head for his bio online;
Composer and cowboy have seldom been fused,
As professions they’ve rarely combined.
In any event, I am charmed and amused
By this quirk in the cosmic design.
