Recorded May 17th, 1991 - 10 min
Gene Autry’s sidekick on the Melody Ranch show and he had also appeared on the National Barn Dance program long before his stint as Mr. Haney on TV’s Green Acres program. We met poolside at the Sportsmen’s Lodge in Studio City, California before a meeting of the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters. The country-western wit was born June 19, 1915 and was 75 at the time of this short chat, which is almost a stand-up comedy routine! He died January 8, 1994 at age 79.
