WOW! This really brings back a hell of a lot of memories for me. As a kid growing up in South Carolina in the 80's, this used to come on channel 11 everyday at 2 PM. And everyday at that same time, I was right there in front of the telelvision set watching Sunset Carson ride into my living room. Me and my brother grew up to our dad showing us the likes of Charles Starrett, Gene Autry, and Roy Rogers. I hope someday that I can share the magic with my kids, as my dad did with me.
This song says it all about my younger days as a boy when these incredibel pictures were shown on Saturdays during a time when everyone went to the movies.
Thanks for posting this, Those were good days to actually see 'B' Westerns on television thanks to Sunset's "Six-Gun Heroes" and Riders in the Sky hosting "Tumbleweed Theater" on The Nashville Network. Back when video collecting was beginning to catch on these provided a chance to actually see Fred Scott, Smith Ballew, Bob Steele and so many others. The film prints were usually in rough shape and cut but what a treat after just reading about them in articles. Thanks Amigos!. Two-Gun Dan :)
I am so glad that PBS brought this back to television. If any of you out there still long to see this on TV as I do, and you live in South Carolina, it now comes on PBS every Friday night at 11 PM.
The clips of Sunset came from the 1945 Republic picture, Sante Fe Saddlemates. If you look quick, that's Linda (Tiger Woman) Stirling in the dancehall costume. She even did a song in this one. I never knew Bill Anderson had this song out until I saw the TV show. Reminded me of Rex Allen Jr.'s "Where are the heroes?"
Thanks a lot for posting this! It brought back a torrent of memories of when I used to run downstairs to watch this on Saturday mornings on PBS in the 80s
