Music of America: Celebrating the Singing Cowboy

In his time Gene Autry was the real thing. To those who know he remains big.
Known as “the Singing Cowboy”, he made his mark in records, film, radio and television.
This September he would have turned 100.

To mark the occasion, folks at the Gene Autry Museum in Gene Autry, Oklahoma celebrated the man and the culture he represented in a big way.

Mary Schutz of the Gene Autry Museum speaks with us about Gene Autry, his legend, and the way they are celebrating his life this year. She also tells about the museum and even the town named after him.
