66 years ago when I was 2, I named my one & only rocking horse Sildo...because I couldn't pronounce Silver. Thanks to Jay Silverheels & Clayton More... in my 2-4 year old mind Sildo & I went on many adventures hunting down outlaws. I still have old Sildo in his stable of honor. His wooden rockers are worn, and his pinto paint fading, but I'd wager both he & I are up to one more ride. "Hi-Ho Sildo...Away!"
Thomas Vasiloff I just turned 70 and I can remember watching these at age three and four years old learning to read off of the new television. These two & Roy Rogers were my idols.
It's a shame that for the last 40 years children had no roll models like these .The Lone Ranger was a great show for children .I still watch the reruns and I am 70 .Our children would be better off today if Hollywood hadn't decided to become so wicked and vile. And the stars of this show Jay and Clay were decent people in real lives as well as the screen .They stood for honor and decency and good always won over evil .But today evil is what our young people's minds have been bombarded with .The Lone Ranger and Gene Autry never propagandized children nor did they lead them astray . There were others as well , as the Cisco Kid .And too many of them pushed the saloon drinking and saloon women as a way to relax .Leading to the idea of the after work cocktail .Then you can see the influence that the tv had on our population of alcoholics and loose sex . Even cartoons today have been ruined .Adults put to many things in these cartoons that children are incapable of handling nor should they .Like Disney wants the princess to have an abortion .Really sick and perverted .This is the same crowd that kills our young .And they fight to keep descent heroes like Jay and Clay away from them . Now we see why America's youth is so messed up .Plus a whole lot of other reasons !
Louise Smith oh I know it's true with the garbage that's on TV today watching the reruns of these men is so refreshing. Also don't forget hopalong Cassidy and who is that other guy that was Spanish? I remember another hero he had a Spanish name. Or maybe he had a sidekick named Pablo was that the Cisco kid?
Absolutely right. I used to wake up on Saturday's to watch all my favorites including Superman, and even a lot of cartoons had a citizen message in them.. So sad how Hollywood had debased every thing.
Yes so true. I am in Australia, and remember coming home from school, 1956 and seeing the lone ranger, mum and dad had just bought their first television, and so that show was the beginning of television for me. Also loved to watch tales of Wells Fargo with Jim Hardy special investigator.
Clayton Moore was really the Lone Ranger kept in shape all his life he would take a running jump on to his horse ride like the wind always treated jay as an equal which was really ground breaking for that time. They treated each other with respect at all times
You can tell that Clayton Moore was a great man as well. A long time ago when there were great and honorable men.I have always liked and respected them both, and now, even more
Lump in my throat too. I only wish these awards could be given while they are still here so they would know how very much they were appreciated for endless hours of good clean entertainment
I remember the first time the Lone Ranger and Tonto were on tv. I always watched them. This was a fantastic time in my young life. I'm 69 now and I still haven't forgotten about them. I miss them .
I'm so glad I got to witness a great show like The Lone Ranger it truly was a Class Act and one hard to follow well written the actors were point on it truly was a blessing in my childhood!!
I used to watch their show all the time. I still remember that at the end of each show, they dipped out without anyone knowing where they went or who they are. "Who was that masked man?" And then someone who knew who the masked man was would say, "Why, that's the Lone Ranger!!" And I learned right from wrong on that show, along with my parents guidance. RIP Clayton and Jay.
I know for certain I became a better person thanks to that show and it's moral lessons on good and bad and kindness. Even the reruns are better than the crap that's produced today
They are still alive to me. Men of great character on & off screen. A privledge to have known them thru TV. I dislike awards given after passing. Recognize them while they can bask in well earned glory.
As a young boy growing up on the Connally Hereford Ranch in south Texas, my earliest heroes were my mother’s brothers. Nevertheless, I had other heroes as well, men who rode the range on the silver screen. Among my favorites were the Lone Ranger and Tonto. In later years, my Uncle Merrill loved to relate the story of how one Saturday morning I came extremely close to missing an episode of my favorite television show. Having hidden beneath a bed to avoid a whipping my mother felt I deserved, she gave me a choice. I could either come out from beneath the bed and take my punishment or forego that weeks episode of The Lone Ranger. As you can well imagine, I eventually came out from beneath the bed and faced the music. Speaking of music, all of these years later, I can not listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of The Lone Ranger. Hi Ho Silver! God bless Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels. May they forever Rest In Peace. Duane
Thank you Clayton Moore, and Jay Silverheels, for playing in and starring in so many great westerns through the years, especially one of the greatest.....if not THE greatest, TV westerns ever...... The Lone Ranger. R. I. P. CLAYTON 🇺🇲 MOORE JAY SILVERHEELS
WOW HIS DAUGHTER LOOKS LIKE HIM. JAY SILVERHILLS IS MY FAVORITE INDIAN EVER THERE WAS NO ONE LIKE HIM I STILL WATCH THE LONE RANGER SHOW THE VERY BEST WESTERN TV SERIES EVER. IF I SEE JAY SILVERHILL IN THE CREDITS ON A SHOW I WILL WATCH JUST TO SEE JAY IN IT.JUST HATED IR WHEN HE HAD THE BAD MAN ROLE. LOVE THE WAY HE RODE A HORSE. AND HIS DISTINQUISED VOICE
I truly loved Jay and Clayton Moore in the "Lone Ranger." I remember listening to the "Lone Ranger" on the radio when I was growing up. Later, when the show moved to TV, I never missed an episode. Love to watch the re-runs.
I rem,ember as a boy laying on the floor in our living room in front of our old Motorola console radio listening to the Lone Ranger, with Brace Beamer as the Lone Ranger and Jay Silverheels as Tonto.
As a child I enjoyed watching The Lone Ranger. Nobody can replace the character of both Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels in The Lone Ranger my they both RIP.
OMG these two were my childhood heroes and this brought me to tears I never knew that Tonto had such a background and just finding out what kind of men these were in real life made me cry. Also Jay's real name is Harry Smith.
One of the first tv shows I ever watched in the early 50's on black and white TV. Could not wait to see it. Had no TV so had to go to a neighbors to watch the show. What is funny, is I'm now watching The Lone Ranger on Verizon TV #245. Love to sing the theme slong as it is playing.
As a child of the ‘50s, I had 3 role models. Superman, Captain Midnight, and the Lone Ranger and Tonto. I modeled myself after their ideals of justice, bravery and patriotism. I eventually enlisted in the Army during the Vietnam War and served as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer for 27 years. I own DVDs now of my heroes and still watch them at age 69. “Strength through justice and courage.” Out.
Do you remember - his reminder to eat 3 meals a day, each meal being like one of the three fibers in a rope, and to be strong so you can do the right thing ??? We could use more of that modeling today..
@@wildbillharding -- Go to angelfire.com/film/horsefame/stunt3.html and scroll down the article. There in no photo of the white horse but it does say that they are one and the same horse.
This is a great honor to witness this event years later having seen "The Lone Ranger" years ago in black & white, great tv role models for a whole generation now grandfathers. Clayton Moore I remember seeing his muscular build in a 30s shoot, where he was impressive, then and throughout his post tv show appearances on the Tonight Show. An early cameo part in "Key Largo" for Jay Silverheels showed his striking eyes. Not bad supporting Bogart and Bacall before their tv career began.
I consider myself lucky to have been born in 56, and still having these men to look up to. As they say my Hero's have always been cowboys. The Lone Ranger and his Sidekick Tonto. Hi ho Silver away. Let's go Scout
Anyone who wants to do so can watch all of the episodes of The Lone Ranger here on youtube! You might start with the first episode: "Enter the Lone Ranger" was the title. ENJOY!
Even though I was born in the '70s, my favorite thing to do was to wake up on Saturday mornings and watch cartoons and then somewhere around noon they would have reruns of the lone ranger and I would watch it and as a little boy I was mesmerized by The lone ranger in Tonto, it was good wholesome family show, what breaks my heart is they will never have anything good and wholesome like that anymore, if they tried to redo the TV series today it would absolutely be destroyed by social justice and critical race theory, and they would cast the characters not even close to what they actually were, in other words today's people would absolutely destroy such a good thing.
Always over his acting, and found his painting at Sudlerrsvile, MD, presented to the owners of the horse that he jockeyed at Dover Downs, he's been part of my life, since I was 6 years old, I'm 79 now,
one of my favorite lines is second esesode bad guy was getting ready to throw rock down on lone ranger but he falls in the most horrifying fall ever so they get down and he was dead. Silverheels said "GOOD HE DESERVED IT".
Met Jay once at the Sahara Hotel, LV. 1970 i think. I was .......10 years old. A gun show there or something. A fine Gentleman. R.I.P to Clayton and Jay. Legends. Heros.
Jay Silverheels, May God bless you and your family and may God give you his peace and favor. And Clayton. It’s sad that Indians were given a very bad role in today’s movie industry may God rebuke those that destroy the Image of native people of this country.
When I was a little boy, my brothers and I along with my cousin (All boys) played The Lone and Tonto, everyone wanted to be The Lone Ranger, I was the only one that wanted to be Tonto, so there was no problem there, I really like the way he dressed,tely and the head band was definitely something I really liked, and I watched them on black and white tv, and when I can find them on now I still like watching them. Oh, and Tonto's horse was named Scout, Many thanks to Jay Silverheels and Clayton Moore, RIP Tonto. THE SARGE
That's right, I am about to be 70 years old and still watch every episode I can find. My grandfather had a white percheron horse named stella and when I was a small boy I whined and complained until my father set me on the horses' back. I was so small that my legs could not even go around the horses' side but still I wanted to ride a white horse like the lone ranger. Also I remember my father and myself listening to the Lone Ranger on the radio, before we got television.
@@@strattuner, yeah, it is really disappointing. The Bible teaches me to be forgiving and humble and appreciative. In Matt 22:37-40 there are the two great commandments: love God and love ones neighbors. The hate mongering spewed by so many, especially the commie/socialist Democrats, these days reveals a profound "blackness" in their souls; I think then to be Satan's acolytes. Why honor someone except to let him know we appreciate his work and the enjoyment it has brought to our lives. In my old age I see lots of "false or pseudo" Christians and they reveal themselves when they deny forgiving the sins of others but beg to be forgiven of their sins. I question Rob Manfred's Christian foundation.
everything you said is normal Christian thinking,i've pondered the minds eye of god and tried to think of his rationalities,impossible,he said we have to forgive 7x70 per day,that means we are the thoughts of god to everyone,in deed,in voice and conscience ,quite a aload to carry,man woman and boy and girl,all trying to live christlike,i've been a Christian since 1968 the summer,getting born again saved my life,twice,i was surely gonna die,i was stupid and wild,then Christ saved my filthy soul,of thought and deed,small price to pay for redemption of my black soul,god bless us all,and keep us from the evil one
