Guns! Love Them or Hate Them
Collectors of Western Memorabalia have a hard time with weaponry. There exists a division between hard core 'savers', and the 'I'm going to use this someday" person. Weapons reveal personality. You can tell a lot about a hero by his/her weapon.

Happy Trails Theatre
One of the greatest thrills I had as a young Roy Rogers fan was Happy Trails Theatre. For those of you fortunate enough to have watched TNN during the 1980's, both Gene Autry and Roy Rogers hosted their own Movie festival. The most historically important thing about these shows is not the movies themselves, but the guests.

Legendary Sons-Legendary Fathers
When we look at our children as adults, can we describe them as people of integrity and character? In the spotlight, the role of fatherhood is made harder by pressure-these pairs of fathers and sons made the cut. Will you?

Radio Drama....Lives
Radio Drama will never die. Since the first dramatic radio recordings in 1904, radio drama has been with us for a century already. But, you might say, there are no radio dramas produced today, are there? And you might be right.

B Western Badmen
One of the strange phenomena that occur at film festivals is that of spontaneous applause. Not necessarily when the hero kisses the girl (or horse), or even when the evil plan is thwarted either. But rather, when their favourite villain does battle with the film hero. When Charles King, Roy Barcroft, Harry Wood, appear on film, cheers errupt. Why? Because, as loved as the hero is, you can count on the fact that the villain and his henchmen are also loved. The other is that the worse the character on film, the more likeable and generally down to earth the star is.

B Western Essentials, The Sidekicks
Can you imagine Roy Rogers without Gabby Hayes? Or Gene Artery without Pat Buttram? Cisco without Pancho? The Lone Ranger without Tonto? I would have a hard time watching one of my favourite B Westerns without a side kick, comical or otherwise.

The Serial Life of William Witney
The Serial Life of William Witney The contributions of William Witney will never be forgotten. Every time you see a stunt that seems familiar, or a brilliantly directed movie or TV show, the odds are, William Witney had a hand in either the genesis of, or influenced the creators in their childhoods. He was underappreciated by Republic, underpaid, and in the end, the many fans that expressed their appreciation in person at the various film festivals, he was loved and respected in return.

DADDY'S CHAIR
As a child I would scramble into my father's lap when he sat on his old wooden chair. Here, he told stories of his younger days when he had traveled the US and Canada. When he died, his chair became a symbol to his family. Though any one else would consider it just an ugly, old wooden chair, I thought of it as a throne from which my father had ruled his kingdom.

Violence on Television
Violence in our society is a hot-button topic. There are people out there who would like to lay the blame for this cultural problem at the feet of television (and other popular media). Is Xena to blame? Or is this accusation an attempt to avoid the harder truths?

Metal Horses I Have Known II
Some time ago, I reviewed ‘Metal Horse Collections’ by Carolyn Marin. Much to my delight, she has already issued a spinoff of this landmark collectors book. The first was published in 2001, and contained metal horse figurines plus many various items with a metal horse motif. With the feedback of her collector friends, and readers, the new edition, ‘Metal Horse Figurines’, is quite an improvement. It features figurines, almost 1000 of them!
