ReplyDeleteVivian told me they were all recorded in 1952.
Randy Stewart/Seymour was part of this also, and somewhere I read that he and Vivian had hooked up, so to speak, for a time. After this, he did a short stint with the Sons Of the Golden West (Portland) with Bus Boyk, but did not record with them. He then joined a band with my father, the Western Gentlemen, out of Idaho, in the late 50's and I have live recordings of that band. He became a close family friend and in fact my first name comes from him. After that, it was years on the Reno circuit, mostly, with others or primarily as a one man band. He died from cancer quite a long time ago, and I have never been able to track down what happened to family he had with Paula Seymour. He was a fun guy, but very mysterious.
