In 1964  the Diamond Ballroom was opened in Oklahoma City, and me and other former members of the  Merl Lindsay Band were hired as the staff band for the new Diamond.   Guest performers such as George Morgan, Roy Drusky, and Stonewall Jackson, to name a few, appeared with the staff band at the club and on television..
