Comments: In the letter Red River Dave talks about his friend Vernon Dalhart, his early days in radio, and that despite the fact that "the youngsters consider me old and over the hill, I am still active here in Nashvile recording, doing TV stints, etc." Biography: Red River Dave McEnery (December 15, 1914 - January 15, 2002) was a musician and writer of topical songs. He was born in San Antonio, Texas. He got the nickname "Red River Dave" because he enjoyed singing "Red River Valley" in high school. He was the leader of The Swift Cowboys. As a teenager, he appeared regularly on KABC radio. Dave began his career by singing, yodeling, and performing rope tricks at rodeos. In 1936, he broadcast a live singing performance from the Goodyear blimp over CBS AM radio station WQAM in Miami. His career really took off with his song "Amelia Earhart's Last Flight", broadcast in a pioneer television broadcast from the 1939 New York World's Fair. He worked for radio station WOR-AM in New York City and was a radio personality in border radio for station XERF. He worked in several Hollywood westerns as a singing cowboy, including Swing in the Saddle (1944), Hidden Valley Days (1948) and Echo Ranch (1948).
