Mac Hedges "Last Buckaroo" Back in Print
Your support of my Western Music Network launch in 2002/2003 was much appreciated. Unfortunately, we could not find a large enough audience to sustain the economics of keeping it up and running. I continue in my efforts to promote the heritage of Western Culture, and am pleased to announce that I have partnered with Mac Hedges to bring back to the publishing world.
Mac's wonderful novel, "Last Buckaroo."
The story of bringing Last Buckaroo back to print is documented on our website www.lastbuckaroo.com. I hope you will consider telling your Internet audience about the return of this book. Gibbs Smith, the original publisher did not do much, so there are many that have never even had the chance to read it. Our friend and buckaroo, Mac Hedges, is more than willing to spin an interview, and probably throw in a new story or two. Mac's e-mail is last-buckaroo@sbcglobal.net.
Many Thanks

I am going to make a guess, by using some deduction. This was a Roy Rogers movie with the usual gang with guess stars Allan Lane, Bill Elliott, Don Berry and Sunset Carson. Roy is the star, Rocky was mention in the question so I am going with Bill Elliott. He was always practical. May be another movie, since this plot was used more than once.But I remember Bob Nolan as leader of the Pioneers making that same statement to Pat Brady.

Today, June 25, marked another anniversary of General Custer's defeat at "Little Big Horn". This caused me to think of the many, many actors who have portrayed Custer and the many stories involving Custer as a primary or secondary character that have been filmed. One article I read stated "a couple of dozen or more" actors have portrayed Custer, but I suspect the number is far larger, as his character has not only been included in many western movies, but also many tv shows. (My personal favorite is Robert Lansing in BRANDED). I was wondering which COWBOYPAL fanatic could come up with the largest number of individuals who have portrayed Gen. George ARmstrong Custer in movies and TV.

Since no one has posted a response herewith a condensed version of the story as told in Charles Townsend's excellent bio of Bob and the Texas Playboys "San Antonio Rose."
W Lee O'Daniel, head of Burrus MIlls, future Texas governor and US senator, put Bob, Herman Arnspiger and Milton Brown on the air at KFJZ. Bob referred to the group as the Light Crust Doughboys, naming them for the sponsors flour. After a couple of weeks O'Daniel said he hated the hillbilly music canceling the show. The radio station continued the show without sponsorship and Bob went to O'Daniel to tell him he wanted a job. After dealing with the waiting room stall Bob was admitted and told O'Daniel his view. When Bob assured O'Daniel he wanted to work at anything as long as he did the show. "As long as you want to work," says O'Daniel so he paid the band $7.50 each a week but they had to work 40 hours at the mill - in effect getting paid to work at the mill but also having to do the shows. With help from the band they demanded to be paid to do the shows or work at the mill, they wouldn't do both. O'Daniel backed off, they didn't have to work BUT they still had to be at the mill 8 hours a day practicing for their broadcasts.

Hoot Gibson hosted a show that was sponsored by a chinchilla sales company . They were selling live animals . I have watched it several times on utube . It isn't really a show it's like a long commercial . If you watch it please notice just how little Hoot actually does on the show .

Q: The actors included Stuart Whitman, Rory Calhoun, and Paul Fix. A.C. Lyles produced it. The Director? William Claxton. Stan Jolley was the Production Designer. Sounds like the makings of an extra-good western! What movie did they actually make?

He once tried to open a restaurant in Chicago. Local Mafia chieftains demanded a cut for their "permission" to start business. He refused to pay up. On the opening night gangsters appeared and told the staff to leave, and then destroyed the entire restaurant. He closed down and returned to the west coast. Name this western star?
No responses to this question, Sounds like I should leave this legend alone.

Tinsley Yarbrough (author) recalls a story about Johnny Mack Brown in his latter years
@ 1955 seems like there was a fire alarm where he was a greeter host at Holywood supper club. The patrons and staff were evacuated and the fire alarm rung. The firemen came and doused the fire. But while standing outside waiting for permission to return to the premises, staffers began asking where was Johnny Mack was Finally upon thier return, they found him in a back booth of the restaurant calmly nursing a drink.
Name this popular Holywood eatery?

I’d like to thank Paul Hopper for all the info on Lee “Lasses” White! Now, for today’s trivia answer: A greater brain than mine, Larry Imber, writes in THE OLD CORRAL that John “Dusty” King ran such a shop, and he had pictures of himself all over the shop in event no one recognized him!

A guess, John "Dusty" King, I believe ran a waffle house in the San Diego area.

Q: Oliver Drake said he was “the salt of the earth”. Terry Frost had “a ball every minute (he) was with him”. His nickname, now forever linked with him, was gained in a minstrel show headed by Honey Childs. All our memories of him are sweet, indeed. Who is he?

Leroy White and Lee Davis Wilds had a blackface minstrel act - LASSES AND HONEY.
HONEY was Lee Davis Wilds. LASSES (for Molasses) was Leroy "LEE" White.
Lee "Lasses" White was a sidekick for Jimmy Wakely and wrote a number of songs used in
some of Jimmy's pix as well as others.
