Corn Palace Songs!

In my research about all things Corn Palace I've stumbled upon some songs!

Five of them!

1. Corn Palace - the Breakup Society






This may be my favorite of the songs. It's about a guy who lost a love and wishes he'd taken her to the Corn Palace when he had the chance.

It kinda reminds me of the music of Polaris/Miracle Legion, and that makes me happy.


2. Corn Palace - Smokin Joe Kubek Band

At least I think it's about the Corn Palace. It's bluesy and instrumental. And it's called "Corn Palace".

3. Corn Palace Heirs - Dutch Pink

This sounds like Tom Waits. Kinda.

I'm not sure if it's exactly about the Corn Palace, but Corn Palace is in the name. And it says "Corn Palace Heirs" in the lyrics.

It's growly.


4. New Corn Palace March - Karl L. King

This website says that King performed the New Corn Palace March at the Corn Palace on September 26, 1921 for... a celebration of the New Corn Palace?

That was probably a lot of fun!


5. Mighty Palace of Corn - sethifus

I round out the 5 with my song about the Corn Palace.

Why? Because I like my song.

And because I couldn't find a 5th song besides mine.

5 was a better number than 4.

Pics from Christmas Time! Domes! Uniforms! Etc!

I was back in Mitchell over Christmas time. I took some pictures, but never got around to posting them.

Here they are!

I thought it was interesting that the Daily Republic still has the old domes by their name.


My sisters-in-law told me that one of the old domes was still in town. My brother-in-law Ben and I drove around and found it!

Ben took a couple pictures of me with it.

It was even bigger than I thought it'd be!


We went to the Corn Palace and went inside to warm up.

I sat on a tractor.


If you go upstairs inside you can see a bunch of Oscar Howe's original sketches he used to plan many of the Corn Palace murals! It's neat!



A week or two ago I saw on facebook that there are going to be new DWU uniforms for their sports teams.

I took a screen shot of Matt Wilber's post on twitter.

They're going to have an MST3K-style Corn Palace silhouette on them!

Cool beans.
