Nevada Slim

b. Dallas Turner, 27 November 1927, Walla Walla, Washington, USA.

He listened intently towards the cowboy performers that he noticed on Boundary Radio, being especially affected by Cowboy Slim Rinehart. Within the middle-40s, after understanding how to play acoustic guitar, he hoboed towards the Boundary channels, where Rinehart befriended him. They truly became great close friends and it had been Turner who place a tombstone on Rinehart’s unmarked grave, after he was wiped out in an automobile crash in 1948 (Cowboy Slim Rinehart’s Folio Of Nation Song Strikes was released by Dallas Turner in Reno, Nevada in 1983). Turner made an appearance on various programs on XERF, XELO and XEG, occasionally performing under his personal name but generally under an alias such as for example Nevada Slim or Yodelin’ Slim Dallas. He demonstrated favored by sponsors from the programs, since he was a most qualified ‘pitchman’ for his or her items. He also offered his personal songbooks by email order and continued to be a popular on Boundary Radio for about 30 years, sometimes even being associated with the operating of channels. He performed few US channels, probably due to distinctions of opinion over advertising his wares, however in the 60s, he documented transcription programs which were broadcast by a number of important US channels including WWVA Wheeling and WCKY Cincinnati. Within the middle-60s, he documented many albums for Rural Tempo, which he also offered by mail purchase. After seven years, he been successful in curing a glass or two problem, induced after his child died inside a open fire. He related how, lonesome and sad inside a motel space, he had kept a weapon to his mind and was going to draw the result in, when he noticed a gospel track, ‘God Put A Rainbow WITHIN THE Clouds’, playing on his bedside radio. He deposit the gun, found the Gideon bible up for grabs and from that day time, he found religious beliefs. He later on became a minister and offered evangelistic programs, in addition to documenting a gospel recording. He became known as an mentioned historian of Traditional western material and Boundary Radio. He in addition has sung genuine cowboy materials in documentaries and made an appearance in the annualElko Cowboy Poetry Gathering, instigated by Waddie Mitchell.
