Ray Pennington

And I took it to the only person I knew in Nashville was Ron Elliott, who was a steel player that worked down there.

And he played it for Ray Pennington and They had worked into a record deal.

Connie Smith called me one time down there.

They said, Connie Smith's on the phone.

Your record deal that you got, was that something that you had got to the point where you wanted a solo kind of deal, or did that come to you? That, once they...

assigned me to step one over there.

Ray Pennington, Buddy Emmons played on all the sessions.

We had top notch players and things started opening up and started working good and getting booked and the record, I had some, I had 11.
