Smiley Burnette

Here is my Dad with Smiley Burnette (1911 - 1967). I'm not sure what year - Dad might remember the date and event. Burnette appeared in dozens of films - mostly westerns, usualy as comic relief. He also made recordings and appeared on television's "Petticoat Junction and "Green Acres" as the Cannonball's conductor Charley Pratt.
