Ranger-Composer Chooses Tahoe Over Hollywood Fame
U S park ranger Stan Jones who wrote Riders in the Sky has earned 100000 from the song and works on western films but plans to return to Yosemite or Yellowstone. He lives in a log house on Lake Tahoe and will resume ranger duties when his leave ends, valuing mountain life over Hollywood glitz. He collaborated with John Ford on Rio Grande and Wagon Master and acted as a sergeant in Rio Grande. He counts John Wayne Gregory Peck and Bob Mitchum as friends and prefers brush life and fishing over film pace.
