Back on September 20, 2014, I started to write about singer, songwriter Dallas Frazier. (Hit the Dallas Frazier label to read what I wrote back then.)
Born October 27, 1939, he had much success on the country charts in the 1950s and 1960s. Born in Spiro, Oklahoma, but raised in Bakersfield, California and as a teen, played for Ferlin Husky.
In 1957, his song "Alley Oop" became a U.S. #1 hit by the Hollywood Argyles and was his first hit. He moved to Nashville and found work as a songwriter. he had early success with "Timber I'm Falling" a 1964 hit for Ferlin Husky.
In 1966, he released a solo album called "Elvira." Yep, that song made even more famous by the Oak Ridge Boys.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
