I recently "discovered" The Rifleman and most of the draw was Johnny Crawford's remarkable performance. Then, one day, he grabbed a guitar and sang "Greensleeves". I almost turned over in my chair. It was so unexpected. It was one of the most beautiful, gentle performances I had heard on a TV series. His voice was like silk. I am so very sorry for the family's loss. His talent will not be forgotten, and apparently, as I am discovering, he touched many generations with his exceptional performances on "The Rifleman" and other shows. Some 60+ years later new fans are being made, and I am glad to be one of them. Sincerely, Greg Howell
