Pat Brady

Pat Brady (December 31, 1914 – February 27, 1972) was best known as cowboy Roy Rogers' "comical sidekick." Pat's full name was Robert Ellsworth Patrick Aloysious O'Brady and this was shortened to "Bob Brady," although it is not known when the "O'" was dropped from "O'Brady."

Born in Toledo, Ohio, Pat Brady first set foot on stage at the age of four, in a road-show production of Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch. From that moment he was hooked on showbiz for life. While appearing as a bassist in California in 1935, Pat struck up a friendship with a young country & western singer named Leonard Slye, a member of the popular Sons of the Pioneers. When Len Slye was elevated to screen stardom as Roy Rogers, he recommended Brady as his replacement in "The Sons". However, as Bob Nolan, an original member of The Sons, was referred to as "Bob," and The Sons thought one "Bob" was enough, "Bob Brady" became "Pat Brady" from then on.

Making the transition to films himself in 1937, Brady played comedy relief in several of the Charles Starrett Westerns at Columbia. Brady served in WWII and was at the Battle of the Bulge, in Bastogne. In the early 1940s, he moved to Republic, where he played zany camp cook Sparrow Biffle in the Roy Rogers vehicles. When Rogers moved to television in 1951, he took Brady with him. Now billed as "himself," Brady enlivened over 100 episodes of The Roy Rogers Show, happily driving about the sagebrush at the wheel of his faithful jeep "Nellybelle."

Meanwhile, back at the ranch

Meanwhile, back at the ranch ... is a catch phrase that is or was used in several ways. For example, it may be employed by narrators of American cowboy movies and TV shows to indicate a segue from one scene to another but there is often more to this than meets the eye. The expression originated as a stock subtitle in the silent movies and at first the reference to the ranch was literal. Later, as the phrase became a cliché, it was used more and more loosely and with a growing sense of mockery or levity, often with a vague focus. In this manifestation the phrase came into such common use that it took on a life of its own and is still with us today. One might, for example, hear somebody say "Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Ronald Reagan was saving America from communism".

"Meanwhile back at the ranch" is the title of a children's book by Trinka Hakes Noble; a crime novel by Kinky Friedman; of the first album of the German country band Texas Lightning; and is the root of the name of the English band Meanwhile, back in Communist Russia... (1999-2004). It is also the name of a song by Badfinger from the album Wish You Were Here (1974).

Meanwhile Back at the Ranch

"Meanwhile Back at the Ranch" is the title of a debut song recorded by American country music band The Clark Family Experience. It was released in July 2000 as the first single from their self-titled debut album. The song was written by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Gordon Kennedy.

Critical reception

Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave the song a favorable review, saying that it "teems with energy and family harmonies that seem more earthy and organic, which is in appealing contrast to other smoothly polished, sometimes saccharine silbing outings."
