Details:
I started in the recording & songwriting business while I was a student at Eastern New Mexico U
in Portales,NM.Luckily for me the Norman Petty Studio was located only 20 miles away.During this
time Buddy Holly,Buddy Knox,The Fireballs,Jimmy Gilmer,& the Stringalongs were cutting their hits
there,so the studio was quite well known.I was in the Ivy Jives & we cut two of my songs there which
were released on the Jaro label in NY,a sub-sidiary of Top Rank Records.As a result of doing some
studio work there for other people I got to know quite a few musicians.One of them,Larry Parks,was
Roy Orbisonâs drummer on âOnly the Lonelyâ & he had toured with Orbison a good deal.He was
acquainted with the Acuff-Rose people in Nashville & we were able to get some songs cut there.The
Newbeats âBread & Butterâ was a hit for us & âHey O Daddy Oâ & âBirds Are For The Beesâ also
charted.Robert Finnicum was a co-writer on the latter two.âOh Girlsâ by Larry & me was on the New-
beats âRun Baby Runâ album.We also produced the Sparkles for Hickory Records.âNo Friend of Mineâ,
one of ours,was recorded at Bradleyâs Barn in Nashville with the late Wesley Rose assisting in produc-
tion.The song is on Rhino RecordsâNuggetâ collection.After writing for Acuff-Rose for five years,I
moved to Houston where I performed & taught for several years.The trout fishing on the San Juan river
got me hooked one summer,so I moved to the Four Corners area where my wife,Linda Jey & I worked
as a duo for a few years.I also taught at San Juan College while there.I now live near Alto,NM,where
I have a recording studio.
