Roy Rogers on Tom Snyder, Part 1

[@joestrangio3603]

About the time of this video, I took my then-young three sons to The Roy Rogers Museum in Victorville. It was a weekday and hardly any cars in the parking lot. When we entered, to our surprise in the lobby was Roy Rogers himself posing for photos of a photographer and two-person crew. We gawked at him for a couple of minutes then bought our tickets to enter the exhibit. We were looking at the first display and Roy walked through the door. He came right up to us, shook our hands, and chatted with us for a few minutes. Afterward, we were in the gift shop and the crew was in there that was photographing Roy. I asked if he was interviewing Roy and he said he was there because he was writing a book about the history of western wear. A year or so later I saw that book in a bookstore with one of the pictures they took that day. It was a thrill to meet Roy Rogers that day by happenstance.

I loved Tom Snyder's "Tomorrow Show". I would love to re-watch all of them.

The end of the story was that Roy had left his guitar in his car so he asked the producer Sol Lessor to tell the guitar to let him back in. Roy went and got his guitar and auditioned for Lessor. Gene Autry at the time was out on strike with Republic, making personal appearances. Roy had worked at Republic in Autry's films with the Sons of the Pioneers. They put him in a film that had been scheduled for Autry "Under Western Skies" and when Gene came back, he and Roy became competitors.

Roy was a class-act

[@ArchieThomas3seesea]

I did chores as a kid & was taught to polish shoes and have clothes laid out but I've had an Eritrean lady recently and other say my mother didn't teach me as I have housekeeping challenges.

[@ArchieThomas3seesea]

I did Square Dancing as a kid in school ^ bowing was part ot it. I keeled to a white girl and naturally was told to get up. I forgot about square dancing until I hard this on this video.

[@ArchieThomas3seesea]

I told a guy something about employment at the dC Convention center, he got off the phone and was hired while I didn't get hired.

I heard a black helped Edison greatly with some of his inventions.

[@BuckyBrown-lt4ry]

[@deanferguson7113]

[@TheReevessss]

Waiting to hear about Trigger. Not square dancing.

[@esthermiller2713]

Reever , well yes, Trigger did dance,......but he wasn’t really into square-dancing. He had his own special little fancy jig. He swivelled those horsey hips quite nicely! 😁 👍🏻 🇨🇦

I whant that rach

[@rickforeman4110]

Roy was the best ! Tom Snyder the worst !

[@ArchieThomas3seesea]

Tom Snyder too often make long loud swallows and/or other nasty mouth sounds. Chuck Mangione's Feels So Good was sometimes the opening music for the show.

[@jonbrown4298]

Snyder had a rather large forehead

[@esthermiller2713]

Jon Brown , people with large foreheads needed that extra space for bigger brains.

[@BuckyBrown-lt4ry]

And small brain.
