take a ride with us back to those "wondrous days of yesteryear".


*Dale Evans and Buttermilk*

Here's our own *Queen of the West,* Dale Evans
and her steed, *Buttermilk.*


*Roy Rogers and Trigger*

Here's our "King of the Cowboys" and his pal, "Trigger",
'the smartest horse in the movies'.


*Tv's Annie Oakley, Gail Davis and Target*

Do ya all remember this famous cowgirl? It's none other than Gail Davis, portrayin' Annie Oakley, on television and her horse Target. I just loved her show! Gail was an excellent "markswoman" & "little sureshot" because of her great aim & size, just like the woman she portayed. Strange......, my CB handle, was *Annie Oakley*. My aim, it ain't nothin' to brag 'bout!......The TV show ran from 1955 through 1958. It was repeated on TV, well into the 1960's. The show was created for Davis by "singin' cowboy" Gene Autry......Gail Davis took her last ride, on March 17, 1997, at the age of 71. God bless ya Gail, for givin' us lots of GREAT MEMORIES!!


*Hopalong Cassidy and Topper*

Hopalong Cassidy was one of my favorites growin' up. Hoppy And Topper helped weed out "the bad guys"!


*Rex Allen and KoKo*

I had the pleasure of seein' this duo at the age of 12. Rex Allen appeared at our local fair in Springfield, MO, the summer of 1959. I remember reachin' down to grab his hand as he reached up to shake mine. Ah, the memories!!

*Favorite Western Performers and Guests*

Here are just a few of our favorite western performers & guests. Some of our favorites have already gone to the "Cowboy/Cowgirl Heaven". Here's hopin' ya enjoy viewin' some of our favorites!!

Here's our beloved Roy & Dale! NO other will EVER replace them! They will be remembered down through the ages. In MY MIND, they'll "always be **King of the Cowboys** & **Queen of the West**!!

They always taught us to do the "right thing" and treat your friends and enemies, in the same manner.Their carin' ways for their own family,and children from all over the world, made them "heros" in many eyes of little cowboys and cowgirls, from all over! Like SO MANY OTHERS, I too wanted to be adopted by Roy & Dale, so I could be 'round, such wonderful role models.

This photo was taken in 1995, just 3 years 'fore Roy left this ole range; and 2 3/4 years 'fore Dale joined him. Now, they're singin' and performin' 'fore the "Mighty Master" himself!!



Specializing in songs of the Golden West, Daughters of the Purple Sage are internationally acclaimed for their smooth vocals and wonderful harmony. Named "Rising Star of the Year" for 1998 by the Academy of Western Artists, Daughters of the Purple Sage were nominated 1999 "Group of the Year" by the Western Music Association. The popularity of the group's entertained people all over the world. Fans are delighted by The Daughters' own special musical arrangements of such classics as Tumblin' Tumbleweeds and Cool Water.

These girls performed at "Cowboys Heros and Friends" in Branson, MO in 1999. That's where Buffalo Jim & I got to meet and get to know them.

Since 1999, the group has been on hiatus. I am so pleased to announce that "Daughters of the Purple Sage" are once again recording and began performing again in the Fall of 2003. Through the miracles of "special technology", they recorded their 3rd CD.

Carolyn Judy and Audrey, Jim and I consider it "God's Will" for you three to be together again tourin' and recordin' the western classic songs that you do in your own harmonious "unique" style! WELCOME BACK!!

*Dusty & Buffalo Gal*

Here's Roy "Dusty" Rogers with yours truly, durin'"Cowboys Heros and Friends" in 2000, Branson, MO.


*Dale Berry*

Here's our friend, Dale Berry.

He's virtually worked in every phase of show business there is.

Dale started his career back in 1944, by playin' hooky and hitchhikin' to Dallas, TX with guitar in hand.

Through his career in radio, television, and the movies, Dale worked with every "top notched" cowboy there was!

As western movies declined, he went from "cowboy hat and boots" to "suit and ties". Cast as lawyers, judges, doctors and the like, he played on television show Route 66, Dallas, Walker, Texas Ranger and others. Periodically, you can still catch Dale as "special agent" Chet Whicomb, on Walker, Texas Ranger reruns, with Chuck Norris and Clarence Gilyard.

Nowadays, he attends western festivals, along with other many western celebrities. Ya can also catch him at celebrity rodeos for charities and etc. That's where we first met up with him. At a western festival. He was the Emcee for the "2002 Roy Rogers Festival" in Portsmouth, OH.

As ya can see, he's pictured with his own "Dale Berry" guitar. They're available to the public. We have ours!! Here's where you may order one or more!
