But I prefer to imagine you working on a TV remote production chuck wagon than a truck. With your ten-gallon hat.Jacqueline T.

The television broadcasting chuck wagon reminds me of the remote production trucks used to cover sporting events (I used to work on some of those back in college). Of course, they do require cameras and electricity...:) I wonder if Chuck Wagon Coffee was a real product? If so this might be one of the earliest instances of product placement I've ever heard of.Thomhttp://filmyear.typepad.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-65654417872246587162009-11-05T14:20:01.810-05:002009-11-05T14:20:01.810-05:00Thanks so much, Laura.

One has to admire his success, he came a long way from staged fights on the back lot. I'm especially grateful for his Autry Musuem of the American West, one of my favorites, there in LA.Jacqueline T.

Roy was my favorite, but Gene was the "local guy" admired here in Orange County as a businessman and the owner of the long-beleaguered California Angels (as they were called then). I used to get a kick out of seeing his big old car in his parking place at the Big A. :)<br /><br />Loved your memories of childhood play. And the TV screenings!

Gene had a comfortable way about him. I like that. I do have a movie to discuss that parodies the Hoppy phenomenon, but I'm saving that until I get a few other things cleared off my desk. <br /><br />John, thanks so much. I wonder if modern-day ranches are filled with cowboys who sing at the drop of a hat? I rode along one once who spouted "cowboy poetry" to me. Maybe it ain't so far-fetched.Jacqueline T.

I loved the line, "They just spill it in first few minutes, like an ansty little kid bursting with a secret," & also liked your discussion of the elaborate staging & B-movie dialogue of playtime back in the day. Isn't it amazing how the ranches are filled with cowboys who have perfect pitch in the movies?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-79370924117582658892009-11-05T10:36:41.415-05:002009-11-05T10:36:41.415-05:00Roy was the best singer.
