Pat
Slatton and I wrote these songs over thirty
years ago. Pat passed away in 2001. She was a
very talented writer and singer. It's no
wonder. She was one of fiddling Arthur Smith's
thirteen children. He was an extremely popular
fiddler on the grand old opry. A lot of his
children played and sang with him on the opry,
radio and show dates. His children are all
talented musically. Arthur smith wrote
"Beautiful Brown Eyes" .. One of the
most popular country songs of all time. He
also had the most popular arrangement of
"Orange Blossom Special". I was
lucky enough to meet him and have him visit in my home. . And even luckier to be
able to write with his talented daughter and
to have her friendship and love. |
