Sorry about the long post but it reads like Who' Who for that time period. This came from Speedy himself and I thought you might enjoy this little piece of history. Also some interesting notes included about two songs by Les Paul & Mary Ford. Little Rock Getaway and Tennessee Waltz were the first overdubbing of Marys' voice and speeding up the record but Speedy wasn't on either record.
Some of the other musicians included in the notes were Alvino Ray (guitar) Butterball Page (guitar) Dick Morgan (guitar player age 19 & J P Morgans brother)and some were recorded with The Nelson Riddle Orchestra.
Some of the artists and some of the songs I have never heard of but I am sure some of you remember these days on the West Coast.[This message was edited by Walter Jones on 13 March 2002 at 06:18 PM.]
