Review in a respected publication:"FOLLOWING THE STARS: MUSIC AND MEMORIES OF HOPALONG CASSIDY is an ebook by Roger Hall, the boy who met Hopalong Cassidy and posed with him for the cover of LOOK in 1950. The CD-ROM is a memory scrapbook of Hoppy material: songs in Cassidy movies, Hoppy children's albums, list of music composers and musical groups in Hoppy films, sheet music covers, hundreds of graphics and photos, plus music files. A nice supplement to the two current HC [Hopalong Cassidy] books with material not contained in either."
