Pinto Pete and His Ranch Boys was a country and western radio show that aired in the 1930s and 1940s. Pinto Pete, played by Jack Ross, was joined by Joe "Curley" Bradley and Ken "Shorty" Carson in this program that featured easygoing western music intermixed with cowboy philosophy, soft thoughts, and messages of faith in God and oneself. Popular on both the Blue Network in the U.S. and in Australia, the show was not related to the 1940s comic character Pinto Pete. Notable episodes included renditions of "The Roaming Cowboy", "There's A Blue Sky", and "The Blue Ridge Mountain Blues". The trio of actors also participated in various films and radio shows, such as It Happened One Night and National Barn Dance, showcasing their versatility and talent.
