Woodward Maurice "Tex" Ritter (January 12, 1905 – January 2, 1974) was an American country music singer and movie actor popular from the mid-1930s into the 1960s, and the patriarch of the Ritter family in acting (son John and grandsons Jason and Tyler). He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Early life
Ritter was born in Murvaul, Texas, the son of Martha Elizabeth (née Matthews) and James Everett Ritter. He grew up on his family's farm in Panola County and attended grade school in Carthage. He attended South Park High School in Beaumont, Texas. After graduating with honors, he entered the University of Texas at Austin; he studied pre-law and majored in government, political science, and economics.
Career
Radio and Broadway
An early pioneer of country music, Ritter soon became interested in show business. In 1928, he sang on KPRC-AM in Houston, a 30-minute program of mostly cowboy songs. That same year, he moved to New York City and landed a job in the men's chorus of the Broadway show, The New Moon (1928). He appeared as cowboy Cord Elam in the Broadway production Green Grow the Lilacs (1931), the basis for the musical Oklahoma!. He also played the part of Sagebrush Charlie in The Round Up (1932) and Mother Lode (1934).
Goebel Franklin "Tex" Ritter (February 26, 1924 – October 15, 2004) was an American professional basketball player. Ritter was selected in the 1948 BAA Draft by the New York Knicks after a collegiate career at Eastern Kentucky. He played for the Knicks for three seasons before retiring from basketball.
High Noon is a 1952 American Western film directed by Fred Zinnemann and starring Gary Cooper. In nearly real time, the film tells the story of a town marshal forced to face a gang of killers by himself. The screenplay was written by Carl Foreman. The film won four Academy Awards (Actor, Editing, Music-Score, Music-Song) and four Golden Globe Awards (Actor, Supporting Actress, Score, Cinematography-Black and White). The award-winning score was written by Russian-born composer Dimitri Tiomkin.
In 1989, High Noon was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", entering the registry during the NFR's first year of existence.
In Chapter XXXV of The Virginian by Owen Wister there is a description of a very similar incident, where Trampas (a villain) calls out the Virginian who has a new bride waiting whom he might lose if he goes ahead with the gunfight. High Noon has even been described as a "straight remake" of the 1929 film version of The Virginian.
High Noon is the title of "Best of" and rarities collection by Mark Heard, released in 1993, on Heard's own Fingerprint Records.
The album consists of primarily tracks from Heard's final three albums, 1990's Dry Bones Dance, 1991's Second Hand and 1993's Satellite Sky. The new tracks that are added are "My Redeember Lives," from the 1992 Derri Daugherty/Steve Hindalong produced Various Artists album, At The Foot Of The Cross, three previously unheard songs, "She's Not Afraid", "No," and "Shaky Situation," and a rough demo of "What Kind Of A Friend," recorded on a poorly tuned upright piano.

Jealous heart, oh jealous heart, stop beating Can't you see the damage you have done? You have driven her away, forever Jealous heart, now I'm the lonely one I was part of everything she planned for And I know she loved me at the start Now she hates the sight of all I stand for All because of you, oh jealous heart Jealous heart, why did I let you rule me When I knew the end would bring me pain Now she's gone, she's gone and found another Oh, I'll never see my love again Through the years here memory will haunt me Even though we're many miles apart It's so hard to know she'll never want me 'Cause she heard your beating jealous heart Many times I trusted you to guide me But your guiding only brought me tears Why, oh why, must I have you inside me
