the restless gun

"The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged: his skin is sun dyed brown. The gun in his holster is gray steel and rainbow mother-of-pearl. People call them both The Six Shooter."

I’ve grown fond of an old radio show called The Six-Shooter.  It aired back in 1953-1954 and starred James Stewart, and it is a lot of fun.

I have been pretty laid up for a while, trying to recover from a medical problem.  I was reading a lot, but that has become difficult to do lying down without causing muscle spasms.  So, I’ve been haphazardly exploring the realm of audio entertainment and education.  The Six-Shooter brings me some smiles!  I just finished listening to the 14^th episode, and it was a humorous one.  Including the audition show, there are forty episodes in all.

It only ran one season…apparently radio dramas fell by the wayside as movies and television became increasingly standard entertainment fare.

I’m looking forward to closing my eyes and listening to the next tale of the restless wanderer known as the Six-Shooter.

There are several places to find The Six-Shooter online; here is one of them.

Do you have suggestions for radio shows, podcasts, or other things you enjoy listening to?
