Biography

My heart and sole is Country Music. I started that journey whe I was eleven years old. My mother and dad was musicians and all their families were. My mom bought my first guitar when I was eleven from a Montgomery Wards Catalog.I learned to play on that guitar and when I was thirteen I worked for a farmer for 50 cents a day and told him not to pay me until I had $30.00. So that's what he did.

When I got payed My dad took me to town and I bought my first real guitar(not sayin the montgomery wards guitar wasn't real but it was just to learn on and cut my fingers up with... lol.)

The Guitar I bought was a 1956 Harmony Sovereign.

I played onstage the first time when I was 14 and I was hooked right then. Dad was a member of the VFW so he got me to play for them. From there it went to night clubs and on to Calif. where I won talent shows at the Golden Embers in Rialto and they sent me to The Palimino in Hollywood and I won that talent show. When I was about 26 or 27 years old I got to be a guest in the old reiman (Grand Old Opry.)

Then I came back to Arkansas and I met Mick Moody at BJay Records in Van Buren, Arkansas. That's where I met Olin Franklin (Song Writer) I worked with Olin Franklin and Mick Moody From 1971 to 1998. That's when I got my own Studio and now I do all my own recording, although Olin Franklin is still with me and also Bobby Crown who lives in Fort Worth, Texas. Bobby Crown is a song writer and Artist and has been with me for about 10 years.

So most of my songs are all original.I have been in the music business for approx. 50 years give or take a year or two.

Some may think I'm too old for this but I feel just as strong about my music as I did 50 years ago.

I think I can handle anything that the Music field wants to dish out to me.

I've had records on the air, never had a big hit but I won't let that stop me. I think I have got some pretty good material right now, and if I can get them played I think they will go.

Well, I guess that's enough for now. Never could write about myself anyway.
