Gene Autry was a multi talented man. He was a performer, business man, philantrophist, and gentleman. His recordings span all genres of his career, western, christmas, jazz, and blues. He also had the ability to think ahead, and we are grateful, for his recordings are available again as they were first heard. Read, and learn.

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.

My bookshelf is getting more full all the time. Rudy D'Angelo has written a great book on western guns.

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.
