I love the westerns. And have seen most of them from the movie, serials, Gene Autry to Roy Rogers.<br />I grew up in Tucson and lots of films were made here. And If I could have road a horse, (later I did) the directors were scouting extras at our local restaurant/bar hangout family went to It was out in the boonies.<br /> hahahah there went my chance at Hollywood. <br />Can't remember what film but I had on jeans, boots and blond hair in braids. They followed me around for some time.<br />To me the Westerns are like the Knights of Old in England. <br />John Wayne was just so likeable.<br /><br />cheers, parsnip angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-76453432896523435892014-06-16T15:35:34.522-04:002014-06-16T15:35:34.522-04:00Such a stilted delivery... but yes, it's impos...Such a stilted delivery... but yes, it's impossible not to like him!The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-70801322561560287992014-06-16T15:34:38.668-04:002014-06-16T15:34:38.668-04:00I hope you'll share your thoughts when you do....I hope you'll share your thoughts when you do.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-13139028727306550752014-06-16T15:33:35.051-04:002014-06-16T15:33:35.051-04:00I need to watch Unforgiven again.
