Dale Evans

We, uh, we have ...

I'm trying to find the right song to close the podcast with because I'm stealing ideas from Z100 when he would play Happy Trails from Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and this is back when, in the '70s and '80s, when those kind of songs, young people are like, "What is that Happy Trails?" And it became a huge hit.

So I'm trying to find something similar to that, but so far it hasn't worked out very good.

Um, oh, I forg- I keep forgetting to do birthdays.

Bomba-deeda, bomba-deeda

The boys close the record out with one more cover, an a cappella version of the theme song to the 1950s Roy Rogers and Dale Evans cowboy TV show, done in four-part harmony.

And they had been doing this thing a while, way back to the early days when they sang it as their penultimate, mm-hmm, concert song.

It's silly, playful fun, nothing more, and I welcome it, for as the great philosopher David Lee Roth once said, "Joke 'em if they can't take a fuck."

They did it every concert afterwards with Dave.

I mean, it's, it's a Roy Rogers song.

Or Dale Evans.

Who, who the hell cares? W- Dale Evans would be nobody without Roy Rogers.

In what little spare time she had left, Pearl got Linda modeling work, basically any avenue she could find for her to be potentially discovered.

Another future star became acquainted with Linda during her modeling work, Dale Evans, who was at the time a vocalist for a local Dallas band.

She was singing at the venue that Linda was modeling dresses at.

Dale Evans recalled Linda being a very nice girl, quiet and kind.

This is how Linda Darnell herself later described her childhood and adolescence.

Quote, "I've been working since I was a child.

That was Smiley Burnette with the Sunshine Girls and a 1946 10-gallon hat.

But first, His Hat Costs More Than Mine, that 1947 lament by Dale Evans.

You notice that new stranger in Stinky's Saloon? Yeah, peculiar.

I wonder how he got here.

...

Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and Dale Evans came to my bat mitzvah.

Wow.

You're kidding.

Jesse, who was at your bat mitzvah? [laughs] Um, Gloria Stuart.

Gloria...

And, and Dale Evans.

And Dale Evans.

Hosted by...

You know? Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.

That's right.

It was on NBC back then.

Jane Russell was a part of it.

And, oh, the Western Dale Evans and her husband.

Oh, I can't—big Western stars in the films.

They were in this Bible study and started sharing their faith with people in the entertainment industry, building a community.

He's pitched to Royster, grounded at shortstop, and Evans cuts in front of the shortstop to field, throws to first, and gets it.

Dale Evans making a good play to get Royster.

And here in the fifth, no runs on a hit, no errors, and a runner left on.

And as we have completed four and a half, the score is tied, head one apiece.
