Stu Davis: Canada's Cowboy Troubadour
Stu Davis: Canada’s Cowboy Troubadour by Brock Silversides Stu Davis was an immense presence on Western Canada’s country music scene from the late 1930s to the late 1960s. His is a name no longer well-known, even though he was continually on the radio and television waves regionally and nationally for more than a quarter century. In addition, he released twenty-three singles, twenty albums, and published four folios of songs: a multi-layered creative output unmatched by most of his contemporaries. Born David Stewart, he was the youngest son of Alex Stewart and Magdelena Fawns. They had emigrated from Scotland to Saskatchewan in 1909, homesteading on Twp. 13, Range 15, west of the 2nd Meridian.1 This was in the middle of the great Regina Plain, near the town of Francis.

In 1920 they moved into Regina where Alex found employment as a gardener, then as a teamster for the City of Regina Parks Board. The family moved frequently: city directories show them at 1400 Rae Street (1921), 1367 Lorne North (1923), 929 Edgar Street (1924-1929), 1202 Elliott Street (1933-1936), 1265 Scarth Street for the remainder of the 1930s, and 1178 Cameron Street through the war years.2 Through these moves the family kept a hand in farming, with a small farm 12 kilometres northwest of the city near the hamlet of Boggy Creek, a stone’s throw from the scenic Qu’Appelle Valley. -
Sons of the Pioneers Charity Benefit Concert
SONS OF THE PIONEERS CHARITY BENEFIT CONCERT The legendary Sons of the Pioneers will be appearing in concert on Saturday evening, November 3, at 6:30 p.m. at the Victor Valley College Performing Arts Center, in Victorville, California. This special charity performance will benefit the abused children served by the Happy Trails Children’s Foundation in Apple Valley, California. For decades, the Sons of the Pioneers have musically painted unforgettable images of the West; horses, cattle, cowboys, trails, tall timber, canyons and prairies. Their original songs like “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” and “Cool Water” are classics forever entwined into the lore and mystique of the American West. Both songs have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The Sons of the Pioneers are the most highly awarded singing group of all time. Among their many prestigious awards, they have been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Western Music Association Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame – Hall of Great Western Performers, for their legacy of works in literature, music, film and television that reflect the significant stories of the American West. The Smithsonian Institute named them as “National Treasures.” The Sons of the Pioneers history began in the fall of 1933 when a young man from Duck Run, Ohio, Leonard Slye, then only 22 years of age and living in Southern California, contacted two of his friends, Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer, to form a musical group. They worked long and hard to develop a unique close harmony sound that has had an enduring influence on American music to this day. -

Officers Marvin O’Dell, President The most common question I’m asked when I Jerry Hall, Executive V.P. attempt to encourage western music artists to join the Robert Fee, V.P. General Counsel Western Music Association is: what does the WMA Joe Brown, Secretary do for me? Diana Raven, Treasurer Before answering that question, maybe it’s best Executive Director to state what the WMA does NOT do for member Marsha Short artists. The WMA does not book artists into venues. Board of Directors The organization does not promote individual artists Joe Brown Robert Fee or attempt to help anyone become a star. Like any Juni Fisher non-profit organization, the WMA does not work Belinda Gail Marvin O’Dell Jerry Hall WMA President for its members. The members of non-profitable, Rick Huff charitable organizations band and work together to Robert Lorbeer Marvin O’Dell advance the mission of the organization they have elected to join. In short, the Theresa O’Dell mission of the WMA is to “encourage and support the preservation, performance, 2017 Board Interns and composition of historic traditional and contemporary music and poetry of Judy James The West.” In other words, the mission is to advance western music and poetry Yvonne Mayer in the eyes and ears of a listening public. -
IARCHS NEWS - Fall 2005
The summer ’05 show in Waukee I RCHS Iowa Antique Radio Club and Historical Society IARCHS NEWS - Fall 2005 Usually by this time of year, I’d be remarking about “the frost on the pumpkin” and so on as I hunkered down to write the fall newsletter. But with the autumn we’ve had so far, I’ve been too busy soaking up rays while I finished cutting firewood – in a “T” shirt – to get serious about any indoor activities yet; including the newsletter. But, the tree color and the calendar finally convinced me that this can’t last, so it was time to pull together a quarterly report of club events…. We had another nice crowd for the show n conjunction with the Mid-Iowa Hawkeye antique power fair in Waukee again this I haven’t talked Dean into becoming a year. I didn’t manage to muster any other member just yet (he splits his time between members to help, but had a ball as usual Iowa & Colorado with frequent trips all over visiting with the crowd, young and old alike including a recent stint in Baghdad where he and on Saturday, to my surprise a friend was working to help restore their electrical from my high school days, a traveling grid), but he sure seemed to have fun talking engineer who is working in the Grimes area to the crowd and playing the old sets in the for the next year or so, wandered through display, so he’s still a potential member. and wound up taking a couple turns behind the display. -

Heat, Haze, and Heldorado: The First Encounter by Clark N. Nelson, Sr. 1 Roy Rogers Dale Evans George ‘Gabby’Hayes as himself as Carol Randall as ‘Gabby’ Whittaker 2 It was an evening in May of 1946 when my mother told my brother Larry, 12, and me, 9, to take a bath, then look forward to a trip to Las Vegas the following morning. Larry and I were excited, since we would be in Las Vegas for the annual Heldorado Days, a four-day event from Thursday through Saturday, featuring a carnival, parades down Fremont Street, and a rodeo. Even though Larry and I were excited, we were also upset by the fact that we’d be taking an extra bath that week, which didn’t seem fair. Larry and I took a bath on Saturday night, which was in those days, strange as it may seem, referred to as bath night. We were living within the northeastern rim of the Mojave Desert, and as most individuals from desert climates might recall, water, in most instances, had become a luxury; moreover, according to our parents this was the reason for bath night. However, I’ve yet to be convinced that our parents adhered to the agenda we knew as bath night. Nonetheless, one’s personal agenda toward cleanliness and personal hygiene for the remainder of the week was accomplished with a bathroom sink, warm water, a bar of soap, a wash cloth, and a bath towel. The following examples from that period are absolutely true and serving as benchmarks in time, from that period, with relevance to the value and luxury within a reliable water source: (1) Sometime around 1955, the syndicated newspaper entry in the Salt Lake Tribune, the popular Ripley’s Believe it or Not, featured St. -
The Singing Cowboy in American Culture
The Singing Cowboy In American Culture by Douglas B. Green f all the facets of American life, one of the few universal experiences which cuts across boundaries of age, social status, race, or location is that of sitting in a hushed theater, accompanying the crack of liix-guns with the O rhythmic chewing of stale popcorn, staring wide-eyed at some handsome cowpuncher either roughing up 'a scurrilous scoundrel or two or leaping from a thundering stallion on to a fastmoving freight or rampaging stagecoach. Ifthat rich and redolent experience was somehow missed, surely no one has not been at least aware of the heroics of Matt Dillon on "Gunsmoke" or the Cart wrights of "Bonanza," two longtime staples of television. Perhaps no occupation has been more glamorized over the years than that of cowboy, rancher, frontiersman, prospector, or prairie lawman. It is a national legend and legacy, part of us all. It is a delightful myth we know to be a myth, one which our grandfathers helped create, one which we continue to preserve. Yet positive sentiments toward the halcyon years of the western film in the motion picture industry seem today to be scarce: western film historians look upon the whole genre of singing cowboys as an unhappy and unfortunate bastardization which diluted the purity of the classic action western, while music historians, in general, tend to look upon the genre with equal horror as a bastardization which not only diluted the purity of old time country music, but which also bathed it in such gaudy commercialism that it stripped the music of its inherent dignity.
