Gates changed his name to Ken Curtis and starred as “Festus Hagen” on GUNSMOKE

My favorite version of the band was the in the late 30s when Hugh and Karl Farr where members. The music they made during this period verged on western swing. They drifted toward the easy listening cowboy harmony sound as the 40s progressed

According to secondhandsongs.com it was composed by Bob Nolan in 1936 and released as a single in 1941. The song was also covered in 1960 by the Browns featuring Jim Ed Brown. Also always liked “Tumbling Tumbleweeds”.
