The Roy Rogers Show - I grew up watching the Roy Rogers show on TV. There once was a photo of
me, about age 2, sitting in front of our first TV, and on the screen could
be seen Roy and Trigger. Now that I'm a bit older, I've come to enjoy the
classic Roy Rogers radio shows. I'm sure you'll enjoy them also. There are over 75 episodes
and better then 38 hours of wonderful western action and entertainment contained on the CD.

- This western adventure,
ran from 1951-1956, and was first heard on the Mutual Network sponsored by
Kellogg. Guy Madison starred as Wild Bill Hickock. His sidekick "Jingles,"
was played by Andy Devine, who was fantastic in the role. What were Wild
Bill and Andy looking for as they rode through the west? Why for adventure,
of course, and they certainly found it. This is a great radio series for the
whole family. There are over 225 episodes, and 100
plus hours on this 2 CD set.
A radio version of Hopalong Cassidy, with Andy Clyde as the sidekick,
