Blackwater 53393 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Made the show for me. He played the part with style and made his part very believable. I made several hats for folks in the style he wore. The show was popular with the cowboy crowd!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 One of the outfits I wear is based on his red shirt and black vest. I loved that hat he wore too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 In my humble opinion it was one of the best westerns on TV. Both him and Trampas could actually ride a horse. Sad to lose him. I have every show on DVD, and I watch them from time to time. Adios amigo.RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
