Everett Cheatham's genuine cowboy background included years of entertaining the guests at Dude Ranches, leading trail rides, and competing in rodeos in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho with his long-time friend, Hank Worden. He is best remembered for composing "Blood on the Saddle" and "The Lavender Cowboy", and for his appearance with Tex Ritter in Lynn Rigg's folk musical "Green Grow the Lilacs", (which supplied the story line for the Broadway musical, "Oklahoma", many years later,), which opened in Boston, moved to New York and went on tour with it in 1931 and 1932. Cheatham and his friend Worden were contestants in the annual Madison Square Garden rodeo, and answered a casting call for cowboy singers, musician and yodelers and both were cast in the play, with Cheatham singing "The Strawberry Roan" and "Red River Valley." After the play closed, Cheatham worked in New York radio with Ritter, then gave up show business to return to Wyoming.
