Ken, if nothing else, this thread is helping 2nd fiddle improve his internet search skills.
As the violinist said to the bassist,
"
I rest my case. You might as well put your bag down now."
ps. Is the line 'home of the brave' referring to a teepee or wigwam? Well, in old cowboy films Indians were divided into chiefs and braves... and, of course, there was always John Wayne.
