Does anyone remember "CALL ME MR. BROWN" by SKEETS? It was a 'good' one for him, and written by my wife Barbara Miller-McCormick.

Nobody told me we were allowed to smile when taking a solo! How great is that?

It's good for the soul-o. Skeets was a friend of the family

I have been a fan of Skeets for a long time. It's good to finally see what he looked like. I plan to download that clip onto my hard drive.

West Coasters Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Wynn Stewart, Skeets McDonald, Joe Carson, Joe Maphis, Speedy West, Merle Travis, Billy Mize, Marian Hall and on and on........how did Nashville become so important?

Hi Ben...

WSM Radio , The Grand Ole Opry and geographic location of Nashville had much to do with it becoming a strategic site for country music. I remember hearing, back in the 60s, of the "Nashville Sound," which referred to the studios that had come into being in the 40s and 50s (Bradley's Barn) was just one of them, and the musicians that worked in them. This in no way took away from Southern California, it just expanded the 'horizon' for record companies, promoters, and artists. Hope this 'helps' some...
