When I first published this discography in August 1999, it screamed for completion because piecing together a recording career which spans five decades is indeed no easy task to handle !!
I'm very grateful to DAVE SAX, BIG AL TURNER,
MIKE PITTS and JERRY KENDALL for having filled in a great many blanks over the years.
Also, thanks to KEN SMITH (pic of Sage & Sand 180), MAUREEN COLSON (Melotone 6.02.53)
and PETER SCHOW (Crown CST 258).
