He made his first guitar - out of a cigar box - when he was just ten years old. Later on, his dad bought him a regular six-string guitar and before you know it, he had formed his own string band. When Chet was 15, the family moved to PLant City, Florida where he promptly formed another band and did night club, radio and other stage appearances. Chet got his nickname naturally as he was a brakeman on the Santa Fe Railroad from the time he turned 21. He did his singing in between railroad trips. He was also featured on the Big D Jamboree in Dallas, Texas and also KNVC in Winslow, Arizona and was said to be looking for a recording contract in late 1953.

SECOND RECORD IS A RAMSEY'S RECORDING STUDIO OUT OF MY HEARD & DEEP ELM BLUES - ARTIST IS ROCKABILLY HALL OF FRAMER JOHNNY SILVER: GOOGLE PROVIDED THIS ABOUT RAMSEY'S: Casey was right there in 1958 with Hazlewood and Eddy in the tiny Ramsey's Recording Studio, (later changed to Audio Recorders), developing "The Twang Heard Round The World." Check the Rhino or Bear Family sets for more details on these years. By 1961 Casey had had enough of the road and was working with his own group when he wasn't playing sessions in the studios of L.A. and Phoenix. The Al Casey Combo scored several mild hits before "Surfin' Hootenanny" on Stacy, hit the Top 50 Pop charts and the teens on the R&B chart. Loy Clingmam... indeed had a yearning to write and sing songs about the Western lifestyle that he knew so well. He had be playing guitar (mostly self taught) since his teens. "Just chords ... nothing fancy." he says. Through Ray Odom, Clingman met Lee Hazelwood and they talked about music. They liked each other's writing ... was kind of country-folk," Clingman recalls. "Lee was a disc jockey on KTYL radio at the time and I had my own 15-minute radio show, right after Marty Robbin's half-hour program." In late 1955, Clingman became a Viv artist. Two years later, he was the owner of the label and its publishing company, In early 1958, Loy received a call from Buddy Wheeler and Dick Wilson with a proposition that they start a studio. Wheeler was born in Alabama and grew up in Washington D.C. There he and his brother Joe honed their skills and wound up with an 18-month gig on The Old Dominion Barn Dance Show on WRVA in Richmond, Virginia where they were featured for a year and a half. The brothers then joined The Connie B. Gay Show that brought country music to both radio and television in to national capital. Buddy played the steel guitar and mandolin; Joe played rhythm guitar and sang. As Wheeler recalls: "After getting married in 1949, I went to the West Coast to play with Hank Penny. Nighta and I wound up in Phoenix in 1951, where I formed The Westerners and we landed our own TV show on KPHO. We were on TV for three years and Marty Robbins was with us for two of them. Then I joined Lew King for his shows for another couple of years." The Wheelers also played on many local radio shows and recording sessions. Eventually Buddy joined Hazelwood in Ramsey's Recording Studio to help perfect "The Twang" Heard 'Round the World in 1958 - PLEASE EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS - LISTING 2 MORE AUCTIONS OF EARLY STUDIO RECORDING OF SIMILAR MUSIC THIS WEEK - WILL COMBINE ON ANY SHIPPING.
