Gun & Powder Both Run Dry in Paper Mill Musical
by Bruce Chadwick - published 2024-04-22

There were good citizens, like the men of the Ponderosa in Bonanza, fighting evildoers every single week, Women? The most gorgeous women in the world, all in love with the good guys. No matter what channel you turned to, there was the story of truth justice and the American way – on horseback. Six gun glory.
