Here's a Bio. Curley Fletcher was an actor and songwriter. My ol' saddle pal Perry Williams, down Lubbock way, says that the very first cowboy poem he remembers is Curley Fletcher's "Strawberry Roan," and that was when he heard it played on a hand-cranked phonograph in the bunkhouse on his uncle's ranch. A long, long time ago. Curley Fletcher published the above songbook in 1931. Hal Cannon wrote the preface of this recent edition. Among the titles: "Yavapai Pete," "The Ridge Running Roan," "The Flying Outlaw," and "The Cowboy's Soliloquy". The Arizona Wranglers had such great success with Fletcher's "The Strawberry Roan" that another singing group, the Beverly Hillbillies, pressured Curley to do a song for them. The result was, "Ridge Running Roan." That was the first of several parodies of his original songs. Curley Fletcher appeared in and/or wrote songs for these Western movies: Strawberry Roan (1933), The Roaring West (1935), Tex Rides with the Boy Scouts, Gunsmoke (1947), and The Rodeo King and the Senorita (1951). On April 8, 1939 the first Intercollegiate Rodeo was conducted at the Godshall Ranch near Apple Valley, California. The students who competed came from just about every major college and university campus in the western United States. The young cowboys and cowgirls competed under the guidance of world champion professional cowboys. There to assist the pros and the students were none other than Western movie stars Harry Carey, Dick Foran, Curley Fletcher, Tex Ritter and Errol Flynn. Place a Bid!
