Thanks guys, all these memories brought a tear to my eyes. my strongest memory from childhood is that I was going to grow up to be a cowboy, it was the last thing I thought about at night and the first thing I thought of in the morning, sadly, it didn't happen.
Also don't forget Bobby B and The B Bar B Riders.
Roy, (Leonard Slye, )I think, actually started the Sons of The Pioneers.
In those days, you could spot a good guy as soon as he appeared on screen, was the same for the bad guys, wish it had been that easy all my career.

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.

I've come to the realization
Roy Roger museum closed. That is sad news for us old timers but if I had taken my boy to see it, he would be bored to tears. I've come to the realization that time REALLY marches on and stops (nor even slows down) for anyone.

I went there right before it closed in Victorville. What a place. My favorite items were the pair of 4 3/4" Colt .45s Audie Murphy gave Roy. They were nickel with real pearl and no medallions.
Roy and Dale were very optimistic caring people who suffered lots of family losses.

No, that would be cruel. 
What I can't believe is that nobody has mentioned Gabby Hayes! Pat Buttram, Pat Brady and Andy Devine were johnny-come-latelys.
But then I'm really old.

Off camera, with his teeth in, Hayes was a very distinguished-looking gentleman and nothing like the Gabby character.
He came from upstate New York, made big bucks as a vaudeville performer (only we old guys know what that was), lost it in 1929, and started making movies. He appeared as a sidekick to Hopalong Cassidy under a different screen name before teaming up with Rogers. Interesting gent.
