Fans of this pioneer singing cowboy & film star will be ecstatic to find his rare radio work on this website! Other than one movie, there isn't a whole lot available past 1945 from KM! Tales (from) the Diamond K is a well produced reality type series with, beside Ken, a host and a horse. The audio is good along with the story telling. There are tie-in commercials for record albums and t-shirts as well! There is an entry for Mr. Maynard in the Harmony Illustrated Encyclopedia of Country Music, so you Country Music fans give a listen too!
