Hello I'm a former bareback bronc rider and in 1974 I was at one of lorretta Lynn's longhorn rodeo company I rode her bareback bronc Coal miners daughter the same year I met Roy Rodgers that year will always be special memories lorretta Lynn' had me sit with her children while she performed I also met the son's of pioneers and we sang tumbling tumble weed another great experience for me
4:54 I had to share this with an old friend of mine. We’re in our seventies and she said “Who’s Roy Rogers”. scandalous! Good for you Mr. Thanks for sharing.
Yes. This is cowboy music, i.e., western music. What we call country music is "hillbilly" and doesn't have much to do with cowboy music. Now we seem to call anything with guitars country western but it's certainly different from the old days.
When I was a little kid , I'd watch Roy Rogers on t v whenever it was on . the when the Houston stock show and rodeo came around my dad and mom took my to see my hero Roy Rogers and Dale Evans !!! I couldn't believe it !! I swear I didn't sleep all night ! I was old enough they let me go down to the rail and see them up close . I was walking on air for a week !
Met him once once when I was a kid. He was the nicest, most humble and generous man you’d ever want to meet. I’m 73 now and it’s still one of my greatest memories that I’ll never forget.
Am around your age!!! ALWAYS had a crush on Roy !! Started when I was 9 yrs old!! Never missed watching him EVERY Sat morning!! Yes-I’ve heard he and his wife, Dale were just about the nicest people!! Great memories of the old westerns!!! I don’t like any western movies past 1965!!! They just were not the same after that!!!
I was one of the kids standing ring side when Roy made the rounds of the arena at the Houston Fat Stock show and Rodeo in '58. I got to shake his, Dale and pat Brady's hand.
Bob Nolan, who wrote Tumbling Tumbleweeds, earned 13 major awards and honors; also named a Poet Laureate of the West. His music has been seriously underrated, I believe. God bless his memory, and the memories of all of the Sons of the Pioneers!
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
Roy was my hero growing up. My parents took me to his rodeo when I was a kid. He rode trigger around the edge of the arena shaking hands and I got to touch his hand. I think I was about 8 or 9 years old.
Bob Noland drove a city bus in Bakersfield when I was a kid. My sister work for the bus company as a secretary and I was introduced when I was about six. I used to love to ride on his bus because he sang all them good old dogs that my grandma played on 78s.
I’m 67. Of course I grew up with Roy really Leonard. We had the Sons of the Pioneers. He and Dale lived in the Apple Valley. He had open spaces for sure. Dale Evans wrote a book called Angels Unaware. I now understand why my mother bought this book. My sister had CP and nobody talked about it. Now I have my own son Ben who is DD. I often think of Dale and what a PIONEER she was in her own way. God bless them. From a grateful generation who watched you every Saturday morning. Love from US
This gives me chills because I was a young kid at this time but I remember this and I loved it!! A wonderful time that reminds me that I was just a kid and allowed to be a kid!!!
I remember watching Roy Rogers' TV show. Loved it at the end when Roy & Dale sang "Happy Trails". We used to watch Death Valley Days, too. On Saturdays there were Western movies. Yep.
if america had more hero's today maybe just maybe, our kids would be better poeple. roy and dale always wanted love and kindness ,and did it through the bible with song
A an adult I saw Roy with the Sons when they performed at the opening of a Roy Rogers restaurant in my town. He was always my favorite and as a little kid -- I had the whole RR regalia -- guns, hat, shirt, boots etc. Plus a RR lunch box and book bag. King of the Cowboys and king of the hearts of lots of little girls and boys. I still have my RR wristwatch. When I was a kid in the 1950's -- we had heroes like him -- the guy in the white hate who always did the right thing.
Just made a spontaneous 300 mile trip to Pioneertown to see one of my favorite musicians at Pappy and Harriet's. Seeing the Sons of the Pioneers album on the wall there reminded me of my dad. He loved these old songs.......as I always will.
This us the kind of heroes and singers I was raised up on. They were respected and were all american. I still watch the Grit Western channels everyday.
I grew up with the Beatles, but every Saturday and Sunday morning dad would have the SOP's on the stereo. Then from about 1965 thru 1971 (when I got drafted) Lloyd, Tim, Tommy, Hugh, Bob, Roy L. and sometimes Roy R. would gather at our house and they would play for a couple of hours and talk and tell stories between songs. I was the luckiest kid to be able to sit next to any of these guys who were just as nice as nice could be. I especially liked to hear Roy L. (a great guitarist) and strum along. It was just great.
I love that beautiful horse Roy Rogers rides in this video. Trigger was well trained and how he danced!!! He looked so happy with Roy Rogers. I think the best times for the Sons of the Pioneers were in the 1930s all the way through the 1950s, specially during the 40s with Roy Rogers. The best country group of all times, The Sons of the Pioneers were unique, in my personal opinion, and NO ONE can sing Ghost Riders in the Sky as half as good as they do. I love all their songs, but Home on the Range, Empty Sadles in the Old Corral, and The Navajo Trail are three of my favorite songs by them.
This is My Favorite song by the Pioneers, "Tumbleweeds". We will never see them as great as this. Something about back then, the voices, the Instrumentals, and the outfits, that were a one of a kind.
@@llfJet He had a great voice, even at 70,, and who would of thought looking like he did,,,that he could sound like that, and with that hat he always wore,,,well that made him a great "Festus".
@@6644charlie yes but when people say looking like that they have to remember that that was the character he was playing. He was on Gunsmoke many times before getting the role of Festus.

But he did by several different Gentleman on Gunsmoke before doing the other roll
@@llfJet Lol. I agree, you know, it's not like it use to be, I miss "The Good Ole Days". We have memories of the talent, and what they gave us, take care friend.
I wonder what they sound like now. The group started 89 years ago. 47 different men have been in the group over the years. As of now there's not even a third-replacement left of any of them.
I met him in Little Creek, Va. When he was opening a new restaurant! He came to a local talent show that afternoon, and commended me on a song i had done! He said I sounded like Red Sovine when I did Teddy Bear! Took first place that day! WOW THE MEMORIES of the mid 70s!
I never met Roy,but I have met Royjr."Dusty" Rogers & he is one of the nicest,humblest,genuine greatest men I have ever met! We need more real men like Dusty & the Son's of the Pioneers!& Ranger Doug & Riders in the Sky!
I can remember shaking hands with Roy & petting Trigger at Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I was around 6yrs, 80yrs now. Roy was a guest of honor at the circus there. Forbes Field was home of the Pittsburgh Pirates ball team. Forbes Field was demolished & replaced by 3 Rivers Stadium.
I loved the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Show ! ... and as a kid I just loved his close relationship to his horse , Such a sweet and kind man , with talent galore ! and Dale too . Wonderful memories !
Bob Nolan co-founder of Sons of the Pioneers along with Leonard Slye (Roy Rogers). Bob was born Clarence Robert Nobles in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada. A good Canadian boy, as Don Cherry would say. Tumbling Tumbleweeds and Cool Water. Two fantastic songs.
Was a kid in the 70s, when I 1st remember seeing on telly Roy Rogers & his horse trigger,! & back then we had a dog called trigger,,! From northern Ireland UK, I was born 23rd May 1968,🤝
I saw the Sons of the Pioneers at Knott's Berry Farm in Southern California in the mid 1980s if I remember correctly. It was a real pleasure! The Sons of the Pioneers still had a couple of the original members with them and they sounded even better live in person than they did on their records. They also waited after the concert to chat with those of us in the audience who wanted to talk with them and get autographs. I don't think I've ever had as good a time at a singing group's concert as I did at this Sons of the Pioneers gathering! I should add I had a number of their records - that was how I originally learned about them and grew to like their music.
In my very early years Roy Rogers was my hero.. when we play cowboys I always had to b Roy Rogers or I wouldn’t play! 🤣🤣 true( that was about 70 years ago😋😋
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
They lived thru and came out of the depression, read Happy Trails Roy Rogers biography and his trip with his family during this time from NY to CA in an old Model T? Fascinating! It also gives you the history of the start of The Sons of the Pioneers. Rogers would shoot rabbits and cook it in their rooms for something to eat.
Maybe, "Skinny" by today's standards, but they were of normal human weight, like Adam and Eve. That was in the days before the Big Mac, the Whopper, and the colonel.
I love Country from the 80's, 70's, and 60's. Also, some 50's. But, I've never heard waaaaaay back-in-the-day Country, like from the 40's. Wow! I love this one. I want to see this movie. :-)
I too love, and grew up on 60s-80s Country, but the older I get, the more my tastes include 50s back to the beginning in the late 20s. Modern "Country" has stunk for over 20 years.
@@bedeodempsey5007 I am in my 20's and all that is around is today's "Country." I had to discover the classics on TH-cam and bought vinyl records from resell shops, and the older music is like discovering a gold mine. :-)

It's cliche, but the leftists in this nation have turned it into the land of the fee and the home of the slave. Excessive taxation and a massive erosion of civil rights.
Roy`s real name was Leonard Franklin Slye, and he was a founding member of the the Sons of the Pioneers, along with Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer(original name was the Pioneer Trio).He left the group in 1937 but remained friends with the Pioneers till their respective deaths but only rarely appeared with them after 1937.In 1972, Rogers, Nolan & Spencer and most of the other surviving Pioneers gathered for one last performance at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.I wish I had been there!
One of the favorite memories of my youth in he 1940's was my Dad loading me in the car and heading for the base theater at Fort Belvoir, VA to see the latest Roy Rogers movie. As I recall, he usually had the Sons of the Pioneers singing a song somewhere in the middle of it all. When we got home, on the phono was"Cool Water". Happy days back then, thanks Dad!
I have a Sons of the pioneers 33 1/3 LP. I know all the songs on it. I never missed a Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Saturday T V show when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories.
That was hilarious in the video when one guy in the audience said he liked this country music and then the other guy said yes it reminds me of Flatbush. I cracked up because Flatbush in New York City! Just goes to show that music makes you sentimental.
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Trigger. My wife used to work at the flower shop in Hesperia that Dale Evans would call every day to have frewh flowers delivered.
I grew up in eastern wa where when it got real windy , there would go down the street the tumbleweeds in little whirly winds ! ... my dad loved these songs too . great harmonies
I love the fact Trigger was in the studio for the performance and hope he got extra oats that night for his footwork. great stuff! I wish I had sung this to my wife a couple times prior to the vows just to properly set the correct tone.

I have a Sons of the pioneers 33 1/3 LP. I know all the songs on it. I never missed a Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Saturday T V show when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories.
That was hilarious in the video when one guy in the audience said he liked this country music and then the other guy said yes it reminds me of Flatbush. I cracked up because Flatbush in New York City! Just goes to show that music makes you sentimental.
You didn't recognize him?
That was Jimmy Stewart.
Those were the days my Friend.
Roy and Hopalong that was my childhood👍
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
Music you would sing after a hard day's work on the ranch. Smooth, relaxing, wistful.
Everybody loved Roy and trigger❤❤❤
Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Trigger. My wife used to work at the flower shop in Hesperia that Dale Evans would call every day to have frewh flowers delivered.
I grew up listening to them and still appreciate their great renditions of great western songs!
thanks mai, for sharing this video. 🙂👍🏻,. Good song.
Takes me back to watching The Rifleman
The Big Lebowski introduced me to the Sons of the Pioneers. The Dude Abides
A great, great movie with beautiful songs and an outstanding cast
Glenn Johnson Grew up listening to all those western singers,so for me travelling to the USA in 2017 to Fort Worth,what an experience.
I have loved this song all my life. I still sing it to my grand kids. It puts them to sleep!
I'm watching music from 80 years ago, and a dancing horse, in black and white, and it is amazing, I love it,
Just excellent!
Such beautiful voices. Very relaxing and smooth. Roy was a hero of mine.
I love how Roy gets back on Trigger to go like three feet!
I grew up in eastern wa where when it got real windy , there would go down the street the tumbleweeds in little whirly winds ! ... my dad loved these songs too . great harmonies
Beautiful music for us old GEEZERS
Very good. So much memories. Nice.
I love the fact Trigger was in the studio for the performance and hope he got extra oats that night for his footwork. great stuff! I wish I had sung this to my wife a couple times prior to the vows just to properly set the correct tone.
Genuine gold right there!
