Rusty Richards (songwriter and member of the Son of the Pioneers from 1963-1984), September 30, 2006
Hi Elizabeth, Rusty Richards
The song you are listening to is "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" featuring Rusty Richards and the American Cowboys: I was digging through some old rehearsal tapes from 1986 featuring Rusty Richards, Bob Wagoner, and me and came across these two songs. This was a trio we put together especially for an annual Western film festival being held in Ogden, Utah back in the '80s. Rusty had been appearing there previously conducting seminars on the songs that were used in Roy's movies. His seminars were so well received that he asked Bob and me to join him at the 1986 event with some three-part harmony. (Dick Goodman)
