Lash was my godfather and we were very close. I appeared with him on six magazine covers and one comic book appearance in the SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE. Uncle Lash can never be replaced. One person tried to copy him, his name was "Whip" Wilson. The interesting thing about that is Uncle Lash's real name was also Wilson before he had it legally changed to LaRue. Thanks for your time an effort in producing this tribute. As a side note, Uncle Lash also played El Azote his adversary with the whip in your clip shown here from King of the Bullwhip. Filming one person playing two parts interacting with each other was groundbreaking at that earlier time in film making. :-)
Looks to me like a bullwhip might work if your adversary isn't pointing a 45 or a Winchester at you. Obviously impressive to many children in the 40s & 50s.

Lash was quite a showman on stage, too. He had a show featuring his skill with the whip, flipping cigarettes from ladies' lips, and other such.

Great and true song !!!
Kind of surprised he didn't appear in any spaghetti westerns. I think he would have fit right in.
