Fast Acting, Pleasant Tasting, Green And Purple Pills
(Ray Stevens)
CP-6454 ~ Rhythmin-Him (John Steagerman)
1961
Avery, Texas
From the Mickey Mouse Club Show :
A third season replacement, Lynn had already appeared on television before joining the Mickey Mouse Club. Lynn got to perform on both the Mouseketeer segments and in a serial. After leaving the show, he continued in show business for a number of years as an actor, singer and musician.
Born Lowrey Lynn Ready to Robert and Myrtle Ready, in Dallas, Texas, he began dancing and singing lessons at an early age, and soon was winning amateur contests in the Dallas and Ft. Worth areas. Lynn, who was always billed by his middle name, sang on local radio and television shows from age three on, and later learned to play piano and the steel guitar. Lynn's first professional engagement was in February 1957, on a local Dallas television program, The Curt Massey Show. Shortly afterwards, Lynn took part in a regional audition for replacement Mouseketeers, and became the only Mouseketeer ever hired whose family wasn't already living in California. (...)
Before the Cowtown release, there was one song on the Air label (EP), "A Night For Love" in 1959 and a release on the Spin label in 1960 ("Pogo Stick", picture above).These three labels (Air, Spin and Cowtown) are all listed in the Phil Milstein' Song-Poem Discographies.
Lynn Ready was later member in 1965-1966 of the Bostweeds on the Chattahoochee label and on a one-sided record for Eve Productions with a song featured in the Russ Meyer movie "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!".
And he was one of the Teddy Neeley Five LP on Capitol in 1966.

Don't known much about Sam Lillibridge. But for sure he was not a man to give up an idea. Some twenty two years earlier already, he reported to Billboard (Feb.7, 1953 issue) that "he is still pioneering the trumpet as a country instrument on various jamborees in Texas". Sam Lillibridge was, at that time, D.J. on KCLW, Hamilton, Texas. This Colsam release is indeed a country record and, indeed, you can hear plenty of trumpet...

From 1966. Not listed in THIS Peggy Little discography.
Peggy Little’s succes started on a front porch in Marlin, Tex., when she was singing and rocking her little brother to sleep one afternoon. A man named Jerry Dykes heard her, at first thinking someone had a radio turned up full blast, and immediately offered her a job singing for a Waco, Tex., radio station. Peggy was 11 years old at the time.She now lives in a very small town in Texas and still sing, but only in Church.
Her big hit "Son of a Preacher Man"

KOGT RadioCP-7019 - Orange, My Home Town (PAMS Production)
Vocal: Terry Lee
CP-7020 - Orange, My Home Town (PAMS Production)
Instrumental
"In 1961 the Pams jingle company in Dallas launched it's "My Home Town" series of jingles. The basic premise was a two minute song that sang the praises of a particular city, naming the best sites, attractions and such. They all start with "Let me tell you about my home town....." This one was cut for their client KOGT 1600 am in Orange, Texas. Orange is a small town of about 35,000 just up the water from Port Arthur and Beaumont, near the Louisiana border. Where many of these discs sing about the big things in their cities in this small-town song they're bragging about the waterways, mighty industry, Chemical Row, the shipyards and the community band."

Marie Therese Leahy (aka Terry Lee)
While Terry was consistently the main singer on these records, her name credit on the "My Home Town" singles is anything but. Variations on her name have included “Terry Lea," "Terry Lee,” “Terry Lea Jenkins," and "Terry Lee Jenkins.". Read more about Terry Lee HERE

I’ve never known a better promoter than Ed. He rode around the county in a bright orange van with the call letters of KOGT painted on it. He promoted Orange at every turn. When he arrived, he brought the AM station out of the dark ages. (from Roy Dunn's article, read HERE)
Ed Lovelace died last month (October, 2009).

11929 - Dreams That Flow

Recorded at the Burton Harris (1926-2006) Recording Studio in Mount Pleasant.
Texas Music historian Andrew Brown has now his own (very promising) blog about Texas country music titled Wired For Sound. That's where I've found this record.
