I wrote the song, This Lonely Man, hoping the Everly Brothers would record it. Buddy Killen played it for Chet Atkins and Chet decided I would record it for RCA Victor. Schoolhouse Rock and I wanna Bop I recorded for Brunswick Records(Buddy Hollys' label). Teen Jean Jive is the other side of , This Lonely Man. Click the titles to listen to these songs

Never Been Kissed

Below is a song I wrote in memory of my dad, William Guy Harlan. He passed when he was 47. I was 7. In those few years we had together he inspired me to love music. He was a singer and a guitar player. He had been a coal miner and also worked as an electrician at the Evansville Indiana Shipyard during World War II. He was the choir leader at Cleaton Baptist Church when he passed away. This song is not a true story but there is a lot of truth in it. My dad's life inspired this song. To my dad I say, I still remember you even though you passed away some 60 plus years ago. I thank you for the inspiration and the talent. 

Thanks Dad, your only son. I hope I can be half the man you were.

My Dad was A Miner
