[78-L] Hillbilly Heaven

[Gene Baron]

I remember when the Western group Riders in the Sky had a radio show on NPR
(late 80s/early 90s?), they did a parody called 'Sidekick Heaven' where
they listed the names of famous cowboy sidekicks (Gabby Hayes, Andy Devine,
et al) -- I don't know if they recorded it.
