In an attempt to boos ratings for their flailing program, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans introduced a singing cowboy named Jonestown Red. Everyone in the production all agreed that Red’s singing was top notch and his rope tricks were certainly entertaining but something just didn’t quite click with the audiences and his role was diminished and eventually eliminated. ---

Roy and Dale’s seventh son, Dale Roy Evans-Rogers, was drug for 3 miles behind Trigger while filming a stunt for his parents’ show and was thereafter known professionally as Little Stumpy No Nose. He had a hit single with his sister Roydale entitled ‘I’m a Little Bit Country/I’m Severely Disfigured’ and used the proceeds to put himself through medical school, vowing to use his skills in the medical arts and sciences “to help others like myself and to make Dad scream for mercy to a God he no longer thinks is merciful”, but became a goat farmer instead. ---

Dale Roy’s six older brothers (Evan, Roger, Hopalong, Flopsy, Mopsy and Itzhak) would tease Dale Roy mercilessly. “Hey Little Stumpy No Nose!” they would say, “You’re severely disfigured!” When Dale Roy went crying to his father, Roy would say “Don’t worry, Li’l Stumpy, you’ll have a hit song some day and be more famous than any of them. And stop spending so much time in the goat pen.” ---
