He and two others formed the Pioneer Trio. They had added a fourth member and a radio announcer said they looked to young to be pioneers so he called them the Sons of the Pioneers. Pat Brady joined the group in 1937 and was with them off and on until 1968. Other members were Shug Fisher who started with them in 1944 and was also off and on until 1959. Ken Curtis (Festus on Gunsmoke) was lead vocals from 1949-1953.
