The Riders Of The Purple Sage had their own theatre in Branson, MO and we took our mother there to celebrate her 90th birthday. It was all the original group except the son of one had stepped in for his father who had passed. They likely even sang Ghost Riders In The Sky. That's 18 1/2 years ago so I expect they sold their theatre to someone else. They had a traveling Vietnam Memorial wall I visited and looked up the two soldiers I went to school with though they were both behind me by 4 years in tiny Anita, IA. It is a trip I still remember well.
