Most places list his real name as Gordon Nance. Where did the Elliott

until he discovered the such facts as Steele's real Name was Robert Adrian
Bradbury - not Robert North Bradbury, Jr.; He was born in Portland,
OR. - not Pendleton; He was not a college athlete and never boxed professionally:
his father's real name was Ronald E. Bradbury - not Robert North Bradbury,

Bob wrote five books

About Texas Ranger TV Show
It sounds like the
gentleman is referring to the tv show called "Tales Of Texas Rangers" starring
Willard Parker & Harry Lauter. The series was produced by Screen
Gems which is a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures.
There were
52 30 minute episode. Series ran from 1955 - 1959 + syndication.
The show used to be shown on Saturdays on one of the Buffalo tv stations.
The series had a
catchy theme song.
These are tales of
Texas Rangers
A band of sturdy
men
Always on the side
of justice
They fight for the
right again
That's all the lyrics
I can remember.
At the beginning
of the show you'd see an empty western street and then a lone Texas Ranger
would appear (Willard Parker) and then (Harry Lauter) would appear, gradually
they would be joined by a bunch of Texas Rangers.
One week they would
go back in history and tell you a story from their files. Willard
Parker rode a palomino, Harry Lauter rode a black horse with a white blaze
on its face. The next week they would tell you a modern story.
They drove a 1955 Ford black 4 door sedan and they pulled a 2 horse trailor
behind them.
At the end of the
show you'd hear the theme song in the background, the Texas Rangers walking
woud disperse in various directions until everyone had disappeared.
That's all that I can remember. I watched the show regularly.
There are episodes
occasionally for sale on ebay. Possibly Richard Orsak in Victoria,
Texas or Boyd Magers may have some episodes of this great tv series.
I hope I've been able to answer some of the gentleman's questions.

The sidekick with
the jeep was Roy Rogers sidekick and his name was Pat Brady and his jeep
was called Nellybelle. Pat Brady appeared in all (100) episodes of the

Brady usually played a second comedy lead in Roy Rogers movies, then first
appreared with a jeep in the Roy's movie "Golden Stallion". Pat Buttram

CIMARRON (ROLL ON)
was written by Johnny Bond while a member of the Jimmy Wakely Trio.
They recorded it on August 29, 1940 for Decca records (Dec 5877).
Johnny Bond, and
his Red River Boys recorded it in December of 1947 for Columbia Records
(Col 20502).
In the meantime
the Jimmy Wakely trio performed the song three times in films.
1 - Twilight on
the Trail (Par - 1941 12 03) A Hoppy picture in which the performance was
recorded live during the scene. This is an exception to the usual
pre-recording of songs.
2 - Heart of the
Rio Grande (Rep - 1942 03 11) A Gene
Autry picture.
This is the only one in which they appeared eventhough they had been working
on the Melody Ranch radio shows with out billing as the Jimmy Wakely Trio.
3 - Song of the
Wasteland (Mon - 1947 06 06) A Jimmy Wakely picture in which the singing
group was billed as the Saddle Pals.

Searching for

From: Dorothy Allen
Sent: Thursday,
August 24, 2006 1:19 PM
Searching for information
on my cousin Leck Brown, a friend/neighbor of Roy Rogers. Leck and his
wife, Christine, owned a ranch next to or near Roy Rogers. Roy got Leck
and Christine into the cowboy movies, possible in the late 1940's or early
50's. Leck used screen names of Pete Brown, Leck Brown, Cyril Brown and
Brownie. (Leck also owned a plumbing business under the name of “Brownie’s.)
Leck’s brother, Jim, told me that Leck was in the Stuntmen’s Hall of Fame.
Christine sang and yodeled and was billed as “Sweetheart of the Pioneers.”
Jim also gave me copies of several of their publicity stills, but he didn’t
know which movies they were for. The only movie he could remember was “Bullwhup”,
and mentioned a studio called “Sunset Productions”. It is very possible
that Leck and Christine may have appeared in some of Roy Roger’s pictures,
perhaps as stuntman or extras. I would be happy to share the photos in
hopes that someone might be able to help identify the movies.
The last correspondence
I had with Leck was in 1978. His address at that time was:
5136 Ave L-
Lancaster, CA 93534
I would be very
grateful for any information or suggestions you might have to help me find
this information. Thank you for your time.

Re Bob Steele: It
is reasonable to assume that Audie saw some Bob Steele movies as a youth,
and Steele became his hero. And, that's why Audie used Bob in several pictures.
Much like John Wayne's
admiration of Harry Carey Sr. and why Wayne used Harry Carey Jr. in some
of his pictures. Also, Harry Sr. appeared in three Wayne pictures.

Singing with the Sons of
the Pioneers, and many other groups, is a favorite item in many performers
memory and / or resume. When different artists are booked for a show
in a location they can say they "worked with," "sang with" or "performed
with" such and such an act but it is only in the general sense. They
were never part of the group itself even if they did an impromptu song
together. In this case Leona Baker may well have shared the stage
with the Sons of the Pioneers at some early point in their careers but
she never worked with them as a group. They were strictly male and the
only notable female to record with them was Dale Evans.
Being on the same stage in
the same town on the same day and time with the Sons of the PIoners does
not mean you worked with them in the basic sense.
As it is there are more people
"who sang with" the Sons of the Pioneers at one time or another than places
where George Washington slept.
As far as the Baker Sisters
there are several sites on the web for information - just enter the name
in Google search.
