I began to ride a horse, and it wasn't very long after that when I began to plunk on a guitar. My folks moved to Ravia, Oklahoma, when I was about 15, and that's where I finished high school. During off hours I worked around the Frisco Railroad station, doing odd jobs. In return for this, the station master taught me telegraphy. I went to work for the Frisco, as a telegrapher, after graduating from high school. When the wires weren't too busy, I'd play my guitar and sing. In Sapulpa, Oklahoma, I met another railroad man who liked to sing, and we formed a team. We played at dances and parties around Sapulpa, and wrote a lot of songs together. Our first was "That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine". In 1929 I went to New York, to try to get an audition with the Victor Recording Company. They listened to me, all right, and then told me to go back to Oklahoma, for some experience. I came back to Tulsa, and started singing on KVOO. They called me Oklahoma's Yodeling Cowboy. A year later I went back to New York, and went to work for the Columbia Recording Company. Art Satherley, vice-president of Columbia, then sent me over to WLS in Chicago for a try out, and I wound up staying for four years. It was fun singing on the Sears Roebuck program, the Farm and Home Hour, the National Barndance, and the other programs.

He passed away at his Southern California home, a spokeswoman said. Born September 29, 1907, on a ranch in Tioga, Texas, Autry was working as a railroad telegrapher when Will Rogers heard him sing, and advised him to try show business. It was good advice. Autry parlayed a $5 mail order guitar into a career as Hollywood's first singing cowboy, appearing on radio, television and the movie screen. And his talent for performing made him his fortune. At his death he had acquired vast real estate holdings, several broadcast stations, and the American League Anaheim Angels baseball team. And it all began with a song.

We may not have learned about Tioga, had it not been for Hal, a viewer self-described as new to the Internet, but wise enough to recognize what Texas Escapes is about. Hal was wondering if we could say a few words about Tioga and St. Joe, places where he grew up that are special to him. We came across a small book in the Burnet Public Library (no relation to Autry's sidekick, Smiley Burnette) titled:

Melody Ranch Western Town And Motion Picture Studio
gene autry's ranch where famous westerns were made such as The Lone Ranger, Wyatt Earp, Gunsmoke, Hopalong Cassidy, Annie Oakly, Rin Tin Tin and the Cisco Kid.
http://www.melodyranchstudio.com

Extractions: Map S ince 1915, when the studio was first opened for business, an endless string of hard riding shoot-em-ups have been produced at this location. Monogram Studios made 750 "B" westerns before selling the ranch to singing cowboy Gene Autry in 1952. Legendary cowboy actors, including William S. Hart, Gary Cooper, Tom Mix, Roy Rogers, Bill Boyd, and John Wayne filmed their westerns here until 1962 when a fire swept through Placerita Canyon destroying the main western street. Gene Autry maintained the rest of the ranch for his horse Champion until the horses death in 1990. He then put the ranch up for sale and the Veluzat brothers purchased it. Melody Ranch has been brought back to life with the restoration of the famous western street. You can experience a page torn from history on the street where famous westerns were made such as, The Lone Ranger, Wyatt Earp, Gunsmoke, Hopalong Cassidy, Annie Oakly, Rin Tin Tin and the Cisco Kid. Yes many things have changed but the old west hasnt..at least not at Melody Ranch.
