An accomplished vocalist and musician, my father played local Knoxville radio and TV stations in the early 1950's including WNOX's Saturday Night Barn Dance and the Cas Walker Show. In 1958, we were living in Memphis, Tennessee where my father was with Don Gibson's band and playing on KWKH's Louisiana Hayride. He is listed in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. It is his vocals and likely lead guitar on the recordings mentioned. <br /><br />Thank You for listening. Hopefully in the future, the facts can be clarified.<br /><br />Very Sincerely,<br />Sadonna Lett <br /><br />The following links are recorded by Roy Lett, Knoxville, TN:<br /><br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nywXC--tSqs&list=FLjp0dm4nw3BOx9n7_W0FrQg&index=8 <br />S.
