Sidekicks and Sagebrush (Seamus Kennedy)

As a kid growing up in Belfast, I really loved the old Western movies with the
singing cowboys – Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Rex Allen, Tex Ritter, Eddie Dean; and
the non-singing ones like Hopalong Cassidy, the Durango Kid and Lash LaRue; and
their sidekicks – the Andys ~ Devine and Clyde; the Fuzzys ~ Knight and St.
John; Smiley “Frog” Burnette; and of course the inimitable King of the Sidekicks
~ George “Gabby” Hayes.
And here’s a tip o’ the Stetson to
their musical groups - particularly Bob Nolan and the Sons Of The Pioneers (who
occasionally doubled as sidekicks), for their dazzling harmonies and
instrumentation, and for all the classic Western songs like Tumbling
Tumbleweeds, Cool Water and Way Out There. (Seamus Kennedy)
