OKLAHOMA CITY - The sons of actor John Carradine serenaded the audience and reminisced about their late father as he was inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers.

Actors David, Keith and Robert Carradine strummed guitars and sang "Amazing Grace" at the celebrity-laced 42nd annual Western Heritage Awards at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum on Saturday.

Their performance followed the presentation of a bronze Wrangler Award sculpture to Larry D. Thomas for his poetry book "Amazing Grace."

John Carradine acted on stage, film and television for more than 60 years, appearing in more than 500 films. He performed Shakespeare and horror movies, but films such as "Stagecoach" and "Jesse James" secured his induction into the Western performers hall. Carradine died in 1988 at the age of 82.

"We all wish he was here to see this, because it would bring tears to his eyes," David Carradine said.

That's very good! I like to see character actors get recognition. Sometimes they are more recognizable than the "stars"
