Chronicles of an Old Fiddler "The Family Ranch Band" (1933 - 1953) 127 pages

  "All too often, the names ,activities and stories behind many of the heroes of country and western music, particularly western music,                                                                                    go untold and unrecorded. That certainly is true of the    Beeman family. Thankfully that oversight is being corrected within the covers                                                                                     of this book. Billy, Bobby, Don and Shirley are  an important part of our musical heritage, and their place in the lore of our music is secure."                                                                               - Ken Griffis  Thornton, Colorado, Author of: Hear My Song: The Story of The Celebrated "Sons of The Pioneers"

He later became Ranger Doug when he and his pards formed Riders In The Sky  O. J. Sikes
