In 1958 I was playing Bass and fronting
the band with Jim Reeves and the Blue Boys. I was also writing songs for Buddy Killen at Tree Publishing Company. A couple
of other writers working for Buddy at that time were Roger Miller and Johnny Paycheck(Donnie Lytle). Buddy arranged for me
a recording contract with RCA Victor Records and Chet Atkins as my producer. I recorded two songs for Chet. The first
one was a song that I wrote entitled, This Lonely Man. Chet really liked the song
and actually played the guitar on it. Below you will find this actual recording. Click on the title listed below to hear me
sing and Chet Atkins play the guitar. I hope you like it. This recording is something I will cherish the rest of my life.This
recording is typical of the Rockabilly records of that era. The picture above was also made about the time of this recording.
