What happens
Pinto Pete rides into a campfire gathering of his ranch boys and their visiting friends, where the group sings and plays together under a starry western sky. The cowboys trade songs around the chuck wagon, and Pete calls for favorites such as The Roaming Cowboy, a lonesome ballad about a rough, careless rider who has lost his heart to a visiting city girl. The songs move from sentimental verses about the sea and home to livelier tunes played on fiddle, banjo, and guitar. The scene closes with Pete recalling his old Blue Ridge Mountain home. This is the first song segment of the episode.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
