Earliest Recordings - Pre Shads era.

Ah, the Cisco Kid and his side-kick, Pancho. That was the first TV western I ever saw. Must have been around '55 or '56.

I am glad I have stirred up so many memories, wonderful to see them all coming out.

When my kids were little they once asked "Dad, when you were young, was life in black and white?"

Do you know, I think it was!

Rob's list of TV Westerns is roughly the same as the ones I used to watch.......
Bronco with Ty Hardin was a favourite of mine, & so was a very young, very handsome Roger Moore in Ivanhoe.....but top of my list is Wagon Train...... Robert Horton oooer I've gone week at the knees again !!!! what a hunk!!!!!! I still have the coloured centre pictures from The Boyfriend magazines of some of those tv stars... will have to look them out & drool over them again
Does anybody remember Whirlybirds ? I think it was about the same era......
The actor who played William Tell was Conrad Phillips............
& how about Kookie from 77 Sunset Strip.......co-starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr.........
Happy memories.............am really enjoying this topic.............

I did mention Whirly Birds and Ivanhoe but somehow got lost when I posted it earlier.
I think it was Whirly birds and Captain Halliday that gave me my passion for flying too!!!

There was even a trucking show called Cannonball.

Any one remember a Cartoon of a Mexican Guitar player called HANK??
Seriously it was about the time Cliff and the Shads were becoming popular and in my childish way I always associated the two as one

The first two 78's I had were - I'm an Airman - don't know who sang that one and also a description of the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace - now that one was difficult to jive to!
