Terry Stafford

Amarillo by Morning was not originally recorded by George Strait.

It was written by Terry Stafford and Paul Frazier in the early 1970s.

Stafford got the idea for the song when he was traveling home to Amarillo after performing in San Antonio.

He'd heard a television commercial for a delivery service that promised to get packages to destinations like Amarillo by the following morning.

And it went on.

Terry Stafford, the follow-up to Suspicion, a big hit that he had, and that features the Andio line, which is a very weird keyboard instrument, pre-synthesizer, pre-synthesizer actually.

Terry Stafford, without touch a star.

And before that, we heard Nina Rota, the Italian film composer, and a piece of music from the film Le Dolce Vita, the Fellini movie.

And we started that set off with Hank Thompson with Six Pack to Go.

I should have taken that as a warning.

Everything that I got is just what I've got on.
