The physician at Frenchman’s Ford, a fictional western town, Dr. Ray Matson, was as quick with a pistol as he was with a helping hand. He was "the symbol of justice and mercy in the lawless west of the 1870s." The doctor, known as "friend and physician to white man and Indian alike" set an example of tolerance as all kinds of people made their way to Frenchman’s Ford -- including a Chinese gambler, a Jewish gun-slinger, and a mail order bride! Karl Weber starred as Dr. Ray Matson as the gun-carrying, wandering doctor known far and wide as Dr. Sixgun. His story was told through the doctor’s constantly inebriated companion, a gypsy, named Pablo, played by Bill Griffis…. Pablo also has a talking Raven by the name of Midnight. The Show, which was produced in 1954, when television was decimating the audiences who listened to radio, only lasted one season. Dr. Matson helped people where he could whether it was with medicine, a friendly ear, or with a gun… Dr. Sixgun. This track will live in the "Westerns" Playlist on Soundcloud.com podcast.
