I guess like Lonesome Dove they will keep it going. Shouldnt be long before all are on dvd. If not already.

Well Tom im stumped. I tried everything i know to direct people to us and maybe bring old ones back. I left our url on youtube western videos. I thought maybe the Radio shows might work. And i just knew for sure the other genres thread would bring them back. But alas,curses,foiled again.
I guess its just you and me pardner. But i dont mind being a faithful sidekick.

I guess two is better than none and Bronco and Iain have posted also...and Art Pepper....so maybe it is still five guns to the border.  Just watched over the past two nights eight episodes of the old Range Rider series and tonight watched a couple of episodes of The Restless Gun and a Schlitz Playhouse of "Trails End" with Dick Powell and Lee Van Cleef from back in 1953. Also watched one of my favorite westerns, "The Streets of Laredo" with William Holden, Macdonald Carey, Mona Freeman, William Bendix, Ray Teal and Alphonso "I don't need no stinkin' badges" Bedoya. Also had Clem Bevans....I kind of think he was born an old man as he seemed to be old in the 1930's and npt change all the way through the 1950's.

I watch a little Range Ryder from time to time. Dickie Jones was a boys cowboy back in the younger days. I like Streets of Laredo as well and Mona Freemon was one gorgeous woman. Speaking of born old,Walter Brennan seemed like he was 90 when born. By the time Will Sonnett came along he actually looked younger than he did in Sgt. York and others.
Ive been missing bronc. I haven't seen him post in a couple of months. But we shall defend the Alamo......

Sorry im just posting this Tom. Yes.....i have watched it 3 times since we started this conversation. I just cant get over the acting and emotion Jim brought to it. Im not good at words, heartfelt is the only think i can conjure up and that word has a wide range of how it struck me. And again,to remember all those lines is astounding. Now i have to watch it again or it will burn on my mind til i do. If i were a film critic i would have to give it 5 thumbs up.

Thanks for the nice words about our film. Jim appreciated your compliment too. It was a great experience working with Ray and Jim on this project and with a cast made up almost of family members. Really the only four that are not connected to the family were Jeff Greenwalt as Charlie (the poet's friend who comes in near the end), Jaden Jensen who played the boy hat was touched by the poet and changed his ways and he two fiddle players. Jim and I have worked a lot with Jeff on stage and in an on-line comedy series he produced; Jaden was a boy Ray knew at church; and the fiddle players were a father and son and the father (James "Fingers" Shupe) is a good friend and well known fiddle player. So it was a lot of fun .... and hard work too. We sent our friend Morgan Woodward a dvd of the film and he asked if Jim had a teleprompter for all that dialogue. He was amazed Jim did it all from memory. Thanks for the compliments, it is always nice to know someone appreciated our work.
