Democrats are hacks.
They will always show their backs.
They're too chicken to attack
And they'll never counteract Goldwater.

In the singing department, Eddie Dean was definately an above-par singing cowboy. But his cheapie b-western films, produced by PRC Pictures in the mid-1940s, were pretty weak examples of the genre. Dean was eventually replaced at PRC by Lash LaRue.
Thanks for this posting, Virg.
I am nuts about Bob Wills and that era of country music, especially Texas swing. I’m going to go looking Eddie Dean on your recommendation.
Eddie Dean is also par t of Roland’s ka-tet.

Thanks. I appreciate the link.
Just as soon as I can get my speakers re-attached and working, I’ll listen in. I’m a fan of western music, acquired while watching all those cowboy movies back in the late 1940s.
Again, thanks.
Thanks for that info in post 10. I was not aware of that transition.
My sister and I (two years difference) went to see all the Lash Larue movies.
