Shy Performer

After his sister Mary recommended him for the Midnight Frolic radio show, the 19-year-old Rogers auditioned. At the time, he was a shy young man, but he knew he had the ability to succeed. Consequently, he became a member of the Rocky Mountaineers, a country band. Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer were Rocky Mountaineers at the beginning of their careers.

Sons Of The Pioneers

Formed the Pioneer Trio in 1933; it later changed its name to Sons of the Pioneers. As radio became more popular, the Sons of the Pioneers grew into a huge band. Some of their songs, like “Cool Water” and “Tumbling Tumbleweeds,” are still well-remembered today. Maintaining the Roy Rogers-Dale Evans Museum as a significant and free resource would seem to be sufficient.
