One of my regular favorite web pages is this one on old cowboy movies and stars. I have the complete Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and Hopalong Cassidy DVD collections. As a Saturday morning boy I liked Roy the best, but as I grew older and learned of Gene's support for Ken Maynard and other stars as they aged and got on hard times without telling anyone I appreciated him a great deal. Now I have several mp3's of Gene's singing and the Melody Ranch, Roy Rogers show, and Hoppy radio programs as mp3's. They are quite good and hold up well. When I am at the Fitness Formula on a treadmill, even though they added TV sets, I tend to like to listen to old Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, or Green Hornet or Shadow radio programs. Have a good snowy day and you will find this web page is wonderfully detailed and will answer everything from the names of horses to who made the holsters, but my favorite section is when it covers character actors, henchmen, or the person behind the star in the frame. Many 1940's stars ended up in 1950's TV shows and some even were on 1960's shows still.
