************************
The Sons of the Pioneers was a cowboy singing group founded in 1933 by Leonard Slye (better known by his later screen name Roy Rogers), with Tim Spencer and Bob Nolan. They were soon joined by others and became popular into the 1950s.
The six members who made the Sons of the Pioneers famous in the late 1930s with their close-harmonies western style music were elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980.
Their best known hits include:
Tumbling Tumbleweed & Cool Water.
Tumbling Tumbleweed is considered their 'signature song'.
The group is still in existence today.They are celebrating their 77th Anniverary in 2011 and perform in Branson, MO and special events.

Roy Rogers Cocktail
A Roy Rogers is a non-alcoholic cocktail made with cola (such as Coca Cola) and grenadine syrup, garnished with a maraschino cherry and sometimes an orange wedge.
In recent years, both this name and the original "Roy Rogers" have given way to the term "grenadini." It is considered an acceptable cocktail drink for children (since there is no alcohol). For this reason, it may also be called a kiddie cocktail or simply a homemade Cherry Coke.
It was named for the cowboy actor and singer Roy Rogers.
