Name that Radio/tv show

Was the western show "Fury" on radio before TV? Does this have to do with that?

Has to do with a strange identity-change hero of the old west.

Think "Indian."

Think rancher who went into his secret cave and came out an avenging Indian, screaming to his horse, "Ka - ne - wa Fury !!!!!" He would round up the crooks, then revert to the staid ranch life with his foreman and Buddy, Packy.

The show always began with an announcer saying something like, "He draws the bow back - back - almost to the breaking point. And, then ..." The arrow goes "Wh - wh - wh - eeeeeew - thok!" The announcer says, "______________

Did he sing pops songs in the 70s?

The actor is a mystery to me. I was too young to pay attention to such details.

I guess I will reveal the show this evening some time.

OK I think I know the answer but cannot recall the name. So I will be wondering around my memory until I can remember the show I am thinking about until it comes to me even if it is the wrong show and character

These memory issues are the good, bad, and the ugly of aging I guess.

The unused files of the mind can grow dusty and have too brittle pages to turn.

. And I needed a good one on this sad, sad for me anyway, day. Monday is not a shopping day for me. Those are memories I unfortunately cannot delete.

Memories of the stories my dad, my grand dad and all of my uncle's, who fought in WWI, WWII, and Korea. Plus all my male cousin's who were in Vietnam.

It is so strange we never, my family, lost anyone in war. Some of the above were not even wounded. And lived through some of the worst in the Pacific and Europe. In that I am both luck and unlucky I guess.

and

The relatives of mine who went to war were the lucky ones, I guess. None were injured and few saw combat. My grandfather had the more interesting tales, told of being sent to Paris, France, from an old cottonpicker's perspective. My oldest brother got drafted during Vietnam, but they kept him at Fort Hood the whole time. I served during the Cuban Missile Crisis and was released from active duty as they were changing policy on voluntary versus draft to serve in Vietnam.

It was shocking to me when I started asking questions about their war experiences. For some reason in high school I started wondering about WWII and Korea. That might be when I first read D-Day, but any way they where all in the midst of combat in WWII. And in the case of two great uncles and my grand dad, WWI and Mexican American War.

Seems I was bound to oppose war way before I became a member of the Society of Friends (Quakers). My high school reading binge and later war history classes led me to being against all wars. There are not sacrosanct defenses to war in my opinion.

Well since I am so off topic I opend a new thread in history to discuss Memorial Day and war memories.

I did not become anti war until 1965. Before that, I thought it my duty to go to Vietnam. But, ever since, when circumstances cause me to weaken, a war like Iraq comes along to remind me how wasteful and degrading to humanity these things are. We have to deal with terrorism, of course - but learn to do it intelligently, not blindly striking out, not fighting bogus causes.

Now look what has happened, my sadness has ruined a great thread. I am so sorry.

It's a slow day. Hopefully, others will understand and get back to the game.

Your sadness is certainly right and proper on this weekend. Too many mothers and fathers have stood at gravesides listening to the mournful notes of "Taps". Too many mantlepieces hold flags folded into triangles.

That said,
Edgar, I confess myself baffled.

So far I am listening to Garrison Keller's Prairie Home Companion. He does his best to keep up the old radio traditions.

He tells stories, makes fun of Lutheran's - I was one for so many years although I was only in Minneapolis as a youngster I get the Lutheran jokes.

He has Guy Nior and his other regulars I love that about the show.

My favorite thing this week his commitment to sing the National Anthem in the Key of
G, played by one of the Army bands. A key he states all Americans can sing in and wonders why they cannot change if forever for us. LMAO on that one.

Hee hee. None of my friends ever remembers this show; just my brother in Dallas.
