A 1979 TV Special ~Western Reunion

Let's bring this 1979 TV Special back!  What cha' think?

Here you will find the greatest of TV western stars gathered together to pay tribute to the most memorable cowboy hero's and their series. You'll find everything from bar room brawls ~ to everyday fights ~ cowboys good and bad ~ women of the west ~ Indians ~ faithful companions ~ cheating card players ~ props ~ who's the fastest draw ~ to Johnny Crawford singing
"Cowboy in shorts"

[You must have a Windows Media player to hear this song]
to Roy, Dale and the Sons of the Pioneers singing a tribute to the Duke. All I can tell you is how much I enjoyed this show. It was so much fun, it reminded me of the days when I would enjoy watching these great westerns.

Near the end of the show when everyone was setting around the campfire, Glenn Ford said
"This one's for you Duke!" 
This was not rehearsed nor was it expected.  The tribute to the Duke was Glenn Ford's idea.  John Wayne was in the hospital at the time and was to be watching.

 Do you know who the ole' timer was who kept asking ~ "Where's Roy?"  ; )
Fred Putman #16 was an Executive in charge of Production - "When The West Was Fun" special for ABC-TV
