I have never seen that show but my grandmother loved it.
They should have had Arthur Duncan tap the horse hooves (this show probably predates Arthur).
I love that song - listened to the Sons of the Pioneers version this morning while working on my Model A.
I’m old enough to remember that broadcast.....
Sigh.
The world has changed so much, and so has music.
What a COOL electric guitar that is!
I can remember watching it with my Dad. I have a vague memory of something involving bubbles.
That’s Buddy Merril pictured though, not Neil Levang.
One of my 2 or 3 favorite western tunes, my favorite musics genre.
Vaughn Monroe and The Sons of the Pioneers w/ Bob Nolan IMO had the best two recording ever of Ghost Riders in the Sky. Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins also had a good recording of it, but neither could hold a candle to Monroe & Nolan.
Sean Hannity playing standup bass @ :30, LOL.
Nice Strat!!!!!
That’s champagne music!
Is that guy playing a teletype machine?
Sorry I didn’t mean teletype. I meant the Morse code clicker thingy.
Thanks! Somebody posted a link to Duane Eddy playing it in the 50s the other day. That led me to a great cover by Vaughn Monroe and then by Judy Collins. I’d never read about the song writer Stan Jones, either.
Great song.
Best song. I played it before many of my evening programs when I was a ranger at Death Valley in the late 80s and early 90s.
I got carded at Walmart the other day. The young clerk looked at my drivers license and said, "Wow, you're older than my dad!".
It is a great song, Johnny Cash did a great version of it. It means a lot to me as I live just a few miles from the northern border of DV.
