Song: The Ballad of Lyman by Jordan Keyes and Evan Diem

[Video ID. A fan edit for the garfrenchfries tumblr fancomic to the song “The Ballad of Lyman” by Jordan Keyes (featuring Evan Diem). The lyrics start “you may know Garfield and Odie and Jon and Nermal and Pookie and Liz and Arlene,” and each character as shown in the fan comic are shown when their name is sung, aside from Pookie where [IMAGE NOT FOUND] is shown. The lyrics continue “but you may not know Lyman was there now he’s gone,” as a picture of Lyman from the fan comic is shown and then his face is edited onto someone’s body doing the peace hand sign before the image fades to black. The lyrics continue “last seen in the paper in 2013” as a cartoonish newspaper is shown with fancomic Lyman’s face on it then it zooms out to reveal the year 2013 written on the paper. The lyrics continue “he was Jon’s roommate for the first few years,” as images from the fancomic are shown of Jon and Lyman’s college days where they kissed and hung out together. The lyrics continue “and also the one to whom Odie belonged,” more pictures from the fancomic are shown of Lyman introducing Odie to Jon. The lyrics continue a little but the screen only says “that’s all I got sorry go follow @garfrenchfries on tumblr” End ID]

So I recently listened to the song “The Ballad of Lyman” by Keyes (feat. Evan Diem) on YouTube and I didn’t know jack shit about Lyman (tbh I like Garfield but I’m not a huge fan) so I looked up Lyman on tumblr because tumblr is full of experts on obscure characters and that’s actually how I found this blog! Your comic and art style are really cute! I’m going to turn my notifications back on for this blog. Have a good day and take care!

Although the Texas Revolution has captured the national’s eye from time to time, it’s been mostly used for internal consumption. To captivate non-Texans, early twentieth-century Texas leaders had much more success with cowboy lore. Which is strange in its own right. Throughout much of the nineteenth century, polite Texans regarded cowboys with contempt, viewing them as unlettered ruffians with dirty jobs. In fact, evidence of this disdain for cowboy culture comes from my own great-grandfather John Avery Lomax, who claimed that his first attempt at gaining wider attention for the cowboy songs he had collected as a child in Bosque County was cruelly rebuffed. According to the story he related in his 1934 autobiography, Adventures of a Ballad Hunter, in the late 1890’s English professor Morgan Callaway told him that the songs were “tawdry, cheap, and unworthy,” whereupon Lomax took his manuscript behind Brackenridge Hall and set it on fire. That reception markedly shifted a few years later when my great-grandfather attended Harvard, where professors Barrett Wendell and George Lyman Kittredge encouraged him to collect the songs and their stories, a project that led to the publication of his first book, Cowboy Songs and Frontier Ballads. The book also captivated former Harvard man Theodore Roosevelt, whose hand-written introduction for it endorsed it as a “work emphatically worth doing and one which should appeal to the people of all our country.”
