I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the singing cowboy who's still alive and cranking out some dandy stuff.

I'm talking about Ian Tyson and his "Cowboyography" series. The first three are wonderful and then they get spotty, but the last three are well worth a listen. All are available on tape or CD from most any music store (they might have to be ordered).

I know this isn't exactly what this thread started out to be, but I tho't it might be of interest to some of our friends on the other side of the big ditches. My wife's cousin came over from England last year and I had to keep an eye on him to keep him from stealing all six of the CDs before he left.

More to the original thread.... I spent many a happy Saturday afternoon listening to Gene and Roy, but I can't for the life of me remember many Tex Ritter movies coming to town. I've heard him since, but by then couldn't listen with a kid's ear and I'll always wonder what I missed.

cheers,
