The title of this multimedia CD collection is from the first song in a Hopalong Cassidy film, "Following the Stars" [sheet music cover above].

The first edition of the "Following the Stars" - Music & Memories of Hopalong Cassidy was published in 2005 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first Hopalong Cassidy film, released in 1935. It has SOLD OUT.

The revised second edition came out in 2009 and is available exclusively on this website. The illustrated book is included on a multimedia CD-ROM disc playable on any computer. Any of the pages may be printed for further reading away from the computer.

  • a list of all the songs included in Hopalong Cassidy movies.
  • information about the music on Hopalong Cassidy radio & television programs.
  • lyrics to several songs from the films, including "Following the Stars."
  • rare pictures from a private collection of singer Brad King, who sang "Twilight On The Trail" and several other songs in several Hopalong Cassidy westerns.
  • bonus music files, including a rare recording provided by a Hoppy collector of this delightful 1954 song...

"Hopalong Cassidy (Clippity, Clippity Clop)"

Review in a respected publication:

"FOLLOWING THE STARS: MUSIC AND MEMORIES OF HOPALONG CASSIDY" is by Roger Hall, the boy who met Hopalong Cassidy 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."

-- Boyd Magers, Western Clippings #90 (July/August 2009).

 




"Following the Stars" - Music & Memories of Hopalong Cassidy by Roger Hall is available on a multimedia CD-ROM disc with bonus pictures and songs about Hopalong Cassidy.
