Daddy studied Violin at age 12 in a music school in L A, California. He played with Roy Rogers before he was Roy Rogers, Bob Wills, Leon Raush,Tommy Duncan, Hank Thompson, Tennesse Ernie Ford and Ray Price in the 60's, We lived in Nashville TN were he played on the Mel Tilis varity show in the early 70's. George Jone's Possum Hollar house band in the eveings, and studio Muscian by day with Dottie West, Marty Robins, Porter Wagner, Dolly Pardon and so many more I can't remember them all. From Nashville returning to Houston playing with the River Road Boys at Frank's Ice House, Moved from Houston in 1989 were dad played with serveral local bands in Colorado Springs, CO, It was a friday night while dad was playing The Devil went down to Georgia when Dad fell from the stage and went into a ceisure, It was then they found the brain tumor, Dad went under three operations to remove it they dicribed it as a spider removing the mass of the body but leaving behind the legs, What took over 20 years to grow the first time took only months to grow back in which grew even faster the third time. Daddy pasted away in October 1991. Listening to his music as he pasted in peace, My mother was always by his side day and night never leaving, I was there that morning as he took his last breath. I remember telling Mother it was over now he can rest.
Sincerely
