Buddy Brady and the Men of the West is a country and western band that has played for the past 15 seasons of the Mesquite Championship Rodeo. Before Brady's affiliation with the Mesquite rodeo, he did quite a bit of entertaining of other media. In 1953 Brady moved to Dallas from Tyler. He fiddled for "The Shindig Show" on the radio station WFFA until 1956.From there he went on the road campaigning all over Texas with W. Lee O'Daniels for his third term as governor.Brady decided to return to entertaining after O'Daniels' loss in 1956.<br />In the mean time, Dewey F. Groom was tending to the Longhorn Ballroom in Fort Worth. Brady picked up the fiddle again.There was a 30 minute segment that aired on channel 11 in Fort Worth. It featured the Longhorn Ballroom's western music, and Brady's fiddle playing during the segment.In 1985, Groom sold the ballroom, so once more Brady picked up and hit the road. He joined Tex Ritter and toured across the rodeo nation.Four years later the fiddler settled into a gig that has now lasted for 15 years.It all began when Brady got together with a man named Morris Rosm. They both played the fiddle and entertained the audience before and during the MCR on the weekend nights.A Fort Worth resident, Brady spends his week days at his fiddle repair shop.<br />Keith Umbaugh drummer, and Brady, singer and fiddler have spent the past 15 years making music for the MCR masses.Guitarist, Mike Redden jumped on the bandwagon 13 years ago.The bass player, Bill Bowers joined nine years ago.<br />And the newest member, who puts the extra flair of western style into the band, Albert Talley has been playing with The Men of the West for the past three years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520743085834461738.post-75454141569640365302010-05-19T23:03:41.167-05:002010-05-19T23:03:41.167-05:00Roscoe Ray Clark was my wife's grandfather.

When he was only twelve years old and already the man of the family, there was a farmer nearby who taught him how to play the guitar at the end of the days farm work, and the guitar became the love of his life.He was a fantastic guitarist. He moved to Van, Tx. in the oil boom, and later moved to Tyler and Mineola, Tx. He played with a man named Buddy Brady and they won the Texas Champion Fiddler contest in Athens five years in a row. They played the Big D Jamboree and all the festivals in East Texas- The Blackberry Festival in Lindale, The Watermelon Festival in Mineola, The Black-eyed Pea Festival in Athens, etc. Roscoe died in 1977, Mineola, Tx.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520743085834461738.post-15959801739472977842009-08-24T09:45:14.662-05:002009-08-24T09:45:14.662-05:00Wonderful blog, excellent posts!

So familiar.<br /><br />The label scan had me running for the shelves... I knew I had seen one those, but it turned out to be Gary Woodall's "Don't Gim-me No Back Talk". Out of step with time as well. Right next to it was a a Lee Rose disc on Country Hit but on a red label. Interesting to see publishing on the Woodall as being Security. And the co-writer on the Woodall side is Riley Crabtree who had a release on the Security label.WESTEXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053780688030818857noreply@blogger.com
