Happy Birthday Johnny Crawford
I have been watching the available episodes of The Rifleman on Hulu for awhile. I am into the second season. "Mark McCain," Johnny Crawford, turns 66 today. These days he has an orchestra that plays the great music from the 20s and 30s. I posted a little about this on March 13: Nothing Important/Random Memories

HI I WAS BORN WHEN THE RIFLEMAN WAS ON THE AIR 1959...I'VE BEEN WATCHING THE RIFLEMAN FOR AWHILE NOW ON TV AND MY OWN COLLECTION... CAME ACROSS YOUR BLOG. VERY INTERESTING INFO. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR MEMORIES.... MANY HAVE MADE ME SMILE. -Tom D.
Myself and my brothers were big 'Rifleman' fans , back in '59.
I was 11 years old and pictured myself in Johnny Crawfords fole as Mark.
Boy, did I envy him. Back in the fifties every kid wanted to be a cowboy, or cowpoke.
Happy to hear Johnny is doing well.
The years are passing so fast.
I enjoy the old episodes of 'anything' from the fifties.
I met Johnny Crawford last night when his wife asked me to take a photo of their family inside the Main Entrance at Disneyland. She mentioned nothing about his Rifleman role, but did tell me I was taking a photo of a Mouseketeer. I was floored. I shook his hand, and the whole family was just so polite and lovely. I found out we share a birthday, March 26, several years apart.
