According to Billy Hill's daughter Lee, Billy and Nat Vincent, of the Happy Chappies, were visiting a ranch where a roundup was in progress and saw a cowboy trampled by the stock. The dangers of roundup were so great that many cowboys were crippled or killed and they often would say "perhaps I'm headin' for the last roundup." Billy picked up on the phrase and had a winner when George Olsen's orchestra introduced the song in the Follies. After that the recording race was on with three different recordings being made on September 27th of 1933. Gene Autry, the only cowboy singer of the lot, was 12th to record the song.
1933 07 11 - George Olsen & Orch (Columbia Phonograph)
1933 08 28 - Don Bestor & Orch (Victor)

THE LAST ROUNDUP was written by Billy Hill and published in 1933. Supposedly Billy worked on a ranch in Montana and in talking with a cowboy, asked why he liked the roundup so much in which he replied that it might be the last roundup he would make. As it happened the cowboy was knocked from his horse the next day and trampled by the cattle.

Commentary on the answers. "This Day and Age" was listed on IMDB, a less than reliable source, but not in the American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films 1931 - 1940. That shows his first un-credited appearance as "Flying Down to Rio" in which he was one of the mechanics. "Night Waitress" in 1936 was his first speaking part, before he was offed by the mob. Between that and "Wyoming Outlaws" in 1939 he appeared in 19 films. I would be interested in knowing what the definition of a "real film" is.

Re: Gerald Walton's question "Who was King of the West." I believe the title was "King of the Wild West" and it was Buster Crabbe, according to the billing given him in PRC's Billy Carson series.

Answers are never simple.
The first FEATURE in which the Sons of the Pioneers appeared was The Old Homestead, which was filmed in February of 1935 but not issued until August. As a result the first theatrical appearance of the Sons of the Pioneers was in the SHORT Radio Scout released in May 1935 by Vitaphone. Interestingly The Old Homestead players list shows the four members individually at the bottom but does give credit to the Sons of the Pioneers on the song credit card. Also when Radio Scout was issued they were five members with the addition of Karl Farr and seemed to shrink in personnel when The Old Homestead was released.

Although the Farrs were on both sessions they are not playing on all songs. Those on which they definitely play are I DON'T BELONG IN YOUR WORLD / PANHANDLE PETE / THE OLD TRAIL / RIDE, TENDERFOOT, RIDE.
I don't have all the recordings from these sessions to verify their presence on the others but can tell you they are not heard on
IF TODAY WERE THE END OF THE WORLD.
So the basic answer is that the Farrs were on more than one recording with both Gene and Patsy even though, in

A little more insight re.Roy Rogers birthplace after his original birthplace in Cincinnati. According to popular lore, the site where Roy Rogers was born is now roughly that of second base at Cinergy Field. During a celebration of Rogers' 50th anniversary in show business in 1981, the Cincinnati Reds gave Rogers an autographed second base. The legend had clearly taken root.
But in that same year, 1981, Post columnist Dick Rawe wrote that a reader, Albert Lane, had been digging into Rogers' history and had called The Post to say he believed the second-base story was wrong. Rawe noted that Rogers had been as surprised as anyone about the story. Rawe enlisted two civil engineers, who pinpointed the birthplace near the middle of Second Street opposite the Crown.
The answers are in, but I thought I would add this 'little tidbit".

Listening on the car radio today they were talking about James Arness and why he walked with a limp (I never noticed that) they said he was wounded in the landing of Anzio, Italy. Then they went on to say that I believe is a false statement. That Ken Curtis (Festus) was an orginal member of the Sons of the Pioneers.
Name the orginal members of the Sons of the Pioneers?
Answer to CowboyPal Trivia for October 5, 2007
Well this one has its iterations, "The Sons of the Pioneers" came from the "Pioneer Trio". Leonard Slye (Roy Rogers to-be) founder (circa 1933-1934), Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer.
The "Pioneer Trio" landed as performers on the payroll of the radio station KFWB Los Angeles. The executive at the station renamed them "The Sons of the Pioneers" cause he didn't think it made any sense, they were too young to be (pioneers). They soon added Hugh and Karl Farr. On the morning show they were called "Gold Star Rangers". On the late afternoon show they were called "The Sons of the Pioneers" guess this name just stuck.Roy said they each earned $35.00 a week. They had their first film appearance as "Sons of the Pioneers" in 1935.

I believe it was Smiley who said, 'As fast amd as quick as the horse is, you ought to call him Trigger. You know, quick-on-the-trigger.' I said 'That's a good name.' And I just named him Trigger."

While Gene Autry was working as a telegraph operator in Oklahoma, a man waiting at the railroad station overheard young Gene singing and playing his guitar suggested to him that he could become a radio star. Who was this famous Oklahoman?
Answer to CowboyPal Trivia for September 18, 2007
There are different conclusions in the answers below, I prefer the legendary answer that it was Will Rogers. In Gene Autry song folios this story was told a number of times whether the publicist was correct or knowingly prepetuated a falsehood is besides the point. This is like revisionist history and we are not in position to ask the source for clarification, Gene Autry.
Re: CowboyPal Trivia for September 18, 2007

Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2007 6:12 AM
According to the publicity hype that began with a newspaper story while Gene was working on "Shooting High" Gene was offered Will Rogers' old dressing room on the 20th C Fox lot and it was then, according to the November 11, 1939 that Gene related the story of how Will had advised him to go to New York. In that same story Gene related how it was Rogers who had got him a bit part in "Green Grow the Lilacs." Never happened. The only cowboy star associated with that play was Tex Ritter. Even Autry sources have said the story never happened the way it was told and retold. Gene only learned that Rogers had been in the office when he returned from sweeping the back room and found the signed telegraph form and payment lying on the counter.
Writer Don Cusic tracked down Rogers' movements and the only story he filed from Chelsea was in May of 1928 which throws the whole story in Gene's autobiography out the window since he said he followed his advice and went to New York in September and October of 1927. Although Holly George-Warren makes a case for Gene's trip taking place in 1928 there is no supporting documentation.

Re: Roy Rogers last features B/W?
From: CowboyPal
Roy's contract with Republic and Yates lapsed in May 27, 1951. Roy wanted to do more Republic features and produce his own television series. Negtiations broke down with Yates after Roy sued Republic when Yates tried to sell Roy features to television. (Republic eventually won the lawsuit).
Roy's last color feature for Republic was "Trail of Robin Hood", the last of Roy Rogers features were released in B/W beginning with "Spoilers of the Plains", "Heart of the Rockies", "In Old Amarillo", "South of Caliente", and the last of Roy Rogers features for Republic was "Pals of the Golden West". Roy then did two comedy spoofs one with Paramount co-starred with Bob Hope and Jane Russell in "Son of Paleface" (1952) then a brief appearance in United Artists "Alias Jesse James" (1959). His final movie was a privately financed movie for Penland Productions "Mackintosh and T.J." (1975). Roy's television show "The Roy Rogers Show" began on NBC-TV December 30, 1951 and continued through March 1957.

USS New York
It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center.
It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, "those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence," recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. "It was a spiritual moment for everybody there."
Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the "hair on my neck stood up." "It had a big meaning to it for all of us," he said. "They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back."

The ship shown in that mail around IS the San Diego (LPD 17) which number is barely visible in the picture. The USS New York (LPD 21) is not scheduled for launch until March 2008. The picture of the San Diego was used as "an artists rendering." to accompany the hoo-hah piece.
Here is a little bit of stuff from Wikipedia:
USS New York (LPD-21), a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, is the fifth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the state of New York. The ship is designed to deliver a fully-equipped battalion of 699 Marines.
Shortly after 11 September 2001, Governor of New York George E. Pataki wrote a letter to Secretary of the Navy Gordon England requesting that the Navy bestow the name USS New York on a surface warship involved in the War on Terror in honor of September 11's victims. In his letter, the Governor said he understood state names are currently reserved for submarines, but asked for special consideration so the name could be given to a surface ship. The request was approved 28 August 2002.
Oddly enough, a previous holder of the name, USS New York (BB-34), had its keel laid on September 11, 1911, exactly 90 years to the day before the WTC was attacked.
