Book Description
Personal interview conducted with Luther and Mark about their experiences before they actually became members of The Sons of the Pioneers. Each word was personally approved by each man before I published this in The Western Way, 2010. Rich interesting history from Luther’s birthplace Beaumont, Texas, his first Sears and Roebuck little guitar, early years hard times performing in bars, the move to LA and his job working for Toyota and finally his break with Billy Armstrong, Roy and Dale Evans. Marks early years in Wichita Falls, Texas, playing the baritone-euphonium, his experience watching his parents act in Community Theater and the huge influence of Charlie Douglas Road Gang Radio music of Artie Shaw and his orchestra, wanderlust, free lance work, and finally his big break. Both share tough times, what it takes to make it, and their visions.
