[78-L] on-topic: cowboy stamps

[Taylor Bowie]

Hart recorded his poem "Pinto Ben" on that Red Seal.  He'd made his last 
movie in 1925,  but did get a sort of boost from Rudy Vallee in the mid-30s, 
when Vallee had him as a guest numerous times on his radio show.

Vallee actually published sheet music to a Pinto Ben song,  using Hart's 
words with music by Frank DeVol.  I think that was issued around the time 
Hart passed in 1946.
