More than you want to know but still of some interest regarding "That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine":
1930 12 02 Jimmy Long & Cliff Keiser record it for Gennett. Released on Champion and Supertone labels.
1931 10 20 Frank Novak & Dick Robertson record it for Victor. Released on Victor and later Montgomery Ward labels.
1931 10 29 GENE AUTRY & JIMMY LONG record the song for ARC. It is released on the many ARC labels and Conqueror.
After the success of the song in "The Phantom Empire" (1934) and "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" (1935) it finally charts 3 1/2 years after first release and other artists then take their turns at it.
Nineteen years after the Long / Keiser version, to the day, and eighteen years after the first Autry version Gene records the song again.
1949 12 02 GENE AUTRY & BERT DODSON record it for Columbia Records. Bert subbed for the deceased Jimmy. Bert was a member of the Cass County Boys.
Through all the credits on the records, song sheets, and in songbooks showing Gene's name associated with it he had nothing to do with the writing. Of all the songs "co-authored" with Jimmy Long this is the only one whose copyright remains in the possession of Jimmy's descendants. Gene never owned it, just had deals for a slice of performance and publishing royalties.

Wild Bill Elliott's Thunder
From: GLBELKE
Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2007 9:59 AM
On page 155 in Bobby Copeland's book " Trail Talk " Bill Elliott talks about his Red Ryder horse Thunder & how he travels all over the country with him and his other horse Stormy Night. I believe he rode Stormy Night in his Republic A pictures after the Red Ryder role was handed over to Allan Lane. I always thought Thunder went to Allan Lane and then was renamed Black Jack for the Rocky Lane westerns. Also from 1945 to 1947 it looks like both Jimmy Wakely & Raymond Hatton(in the Johnny Mack Brown) westerns shared the same horse in the Monogram westerns. I know Jimmy gave Lucky away on the "Queen For A Day " show. This was after he started ridding Sonny in his pictures. Did Jimmy lend the horse out for the Brown westerns?

Bill Elliott did travel some with the two horses until he sold Thunder to Allan Lane. The horse ridden by Raymond Hatton was named "Tex.' In addition to Hatton, the horse was also ridden at times by Bob Steele, Charles, King, John "Dusty" King, Jack Randall, Art Davis, Vester Pegg, Iron Eyes Cody, Jack Ingram, Loretta Young, Evelyn Finley and Ona Munson. When Jimmy Wakely bought the horse, the name was changed from "Tex" to "Lucky."

Public Cowboy No. 1 tells the story of the man who inspired their admiration with a quality worthy of the subject…She doesn’t psychoanalyze Autry, interpret him or tell alleged ‘secrets’ that she alone miraculously knows. Her Autry is externalized, but her research is deep and impeccable. Every celebrity could use a biographer like Ms. George-Warren.” I feel this book would be of interest to your audience, and I would be happy to send you a complimentary copy if would consider mentioning it in your newsletter or including a review on your site.

My western movie question:
I saw this movie at a Saturday matinee in the mid to late 50's. The beginning of the movie begins with some kids playing in a western town street. Playing Cowboys and Indians as I recollect. One of the kids is holding a wooden pistol and standing in front of a bank. He is pointing his wooden pistol, yelling bang, bang, bang, when suddenly shots ring out and someone robs the bank! I do not have a clue who starred in this movie much less its name, but, I always remembered that opening sequence..probably because I was a kid? It was very unusual sequence and I hope you all can answer this one. Thanks for the website, I am going to share it with my friends. I am in the process of reviewing a List of the 100 best westerns that a pal of mine gave me, from the classic film board on Imdb. I will copy same for your perusal. Thanks again...Tim

I'm the producer of an album of country music stars singing Gene Autry songs, to be released next month. This is an official project of Gene Autry Entertainment. I'm also writing the liner notes, and it's very important that I locate a movie with a particular stunt scene. I'm writing to you know in hopes that you might know in which of his films I saw this amazing feat. Toward the end of the movie, Gene is held captive by the bad guys. He escapes, hands still tied, jumps on Champion, and rides away. The truly astounding part is that he unties his hands with his teeth while at a full gallop. I think the movie may have been "Rancho Grande."

Hi, Back around 1958 or '59. I attended the local theatre in my home town and saw my first movie. It was a western that involved a wagon train that is being bothered by some bad guys. The men of the wagon train decide that enough is enough and are going to “fight them the highland way”. They end up jumping out of trees onto the bad guys and are wearing their kilts when they do so. Another scene that I remember is a grass fire getting started when some embers fall out of a cauldron that is suspended under one of the prairie schooners. I think( not positive) that it was filmed in color. I sure would appreciate knowing the title of this movie and knowing if its available in VHS, DVD etc. thank you for all your help in advance.

I remember seeing a western movie on Encore channel some tie ago. This town sheriff was using a LeMat, but it was a cartridge loading. Is this a movie model or for real? Are there any other movies that you may know of with a LeMat in them.?

Re Edwin Thompson and the Le Mat: I have never seen this gun in a movie, but Don Durant played a sheriff in TV's "Johnny Ringo." His six-shooter had a special cylinder that fired an extra shot. The shot was a single shotgun shell fired through a modified barrel beneath the gun's long barrel. It was called a "Le Mat special."
I saw Don Durant at a film festival and he let me hold the gun. Bobby

An article in today's Los Angeles Times provides an odd juxtaposition to the Autry Centennial Celebration (and money gathering event). The annual Hollywood Christmas Parade is no more. Last year's was the last. It was cancelled due to rising costs and uninterested stars. This was the event, when known as the "Santa Claus Lane Parade" inspired Gene Autry to write "Here Comes Santa Claus, " or at least come up with the idea and turn it over to Oakley Haldeman and Harriet Melke to write.

TRIVIA ANSWER FOR MARCH 21: Charles Starrett's team (Dartmouth) turned down the Rose Bowl invitation, thinking it was below the dignity of an Ivy League school. Therefore, Johnny Mack Brown's team (Alabama) went to the Bowl game and pulled off a startling upset of a great Washington team. Johnny scored two touchdowns.

The poster name of Roy Rogers co-star in a few of Roy’s early movies was Mary Hart. In Gene Autry movies she was billed as Lynne Roberts. Her real name was Theda May Roberts. Don’t know why she changed it? Note: I was probably the only one who got the Home in Oklahoma answer wrong. I can’t believe it; I must have seen that movie at least 10 times.

Joe, I am having an extremely difficult time. Being an old Pioneer fan, I recently bought a new DVD of Along The Navajo Trail, in which Nolan and The Sons of the Pioneers sang "Cool Water." After I got home with it, I played the movie---but to my deepest regret, they'd edited out all the songs by The Sons of the Pioneers. I was furious---the reason I'd bought the movie in the first place was so I could see and hear them sing this song.
Do you know how I might obtain the movies UNEDITED?

Comment on "Sons of the Pioneers. " I first heard them in 1968 in Colorado Springs at some rodeo thing at the Broadmoor Resort. Still don't know which end of horse to get onto, but the music was challenging enough to get on the saddle and get it done. I'd rather fly fast jets than ride a horse, which I did all my life. But the tunes of the group are timeless in that I still remember them and sing a few from time to time.
