  • “Amarillo by Morning” the Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1
    In the early months of 1964, on their inaugural tour of North America, the Beatles seemed to be everywhere: appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, making the front cover of Newsweek, and playing for fanatical crowds at sold out concerts in Washington, D.C. and New York City. On Billboard magazine’s April 4, 1964, Hot 100 2 list, the “Fab Four” held the top five positions. 28 One notch down at Number 6 was “Suspicion,” 29 by a virtually unknown singer from Amarillo, Texas, named Terry Stafford. The following week “Suspicion” – a song that sounded suspiciously like Elvis Presley using an alias – moved up to Number 3, wedged in between the Beatles’ “Twist and Shout” and “She Loves You.”3 The saga of how a Texas boy met the British Invasion head-on, achieving almost overnight success and a Top-10 hit, is one of triumph and “Amarillo By Morning” disappointment, a reminder of the vagaries The Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1 that are a fact of life when pursuing a career in Joe W. Specht music. It is also the story of Stafford’s continuing development as a gifted songwriter, a fact too often overlooked when assessing his career. Terry Stafford publicity photo circa 1964.

    Volume XVI, Edition 369 - July 7, 2016 Rodeo Star-Cowboy Singer Prodigy Ned LeDoux Set 'Pearl' Feature For Kansas' Oldest Ranch Rodeo Number-two-son of world champion cowboy-country-music- hitmaker Chris LeDoux has the genes, certain ability, more than ample desire, and Ned LeDoux is keeping the family surname alive and well. Knowing the cowboy life inside and out from growing up on the family ranch, with four siblings near Kaycee, Wyo., Ned LeDoux has followed in Dad's boot steps as musician too. Playing drums in Chris' band, Western Underground, until the champion cowboy-musician's early death, Ned LeDoux is keeping his father's legacy alive touring the country with a musical stage show. Performing at a couple of Midwest venues in recent times, Ned LeDoux will be in the heart of cowboy country, the Flint Hills of Kansas this summer. "We're so excited to have Ned LeDoux as featured entertainment for the first performance of the Santa Fe Trail Ranch Rodeo at Council Grove, on Friday evening, July 8," announced Clay Wilson, president of the Morris County Youth Rodeo Association. "The best thing, everybody will get to see and hear this top entertainer with just a regular rodeo admittance," Like father_ like son_ Chris and Ned Wilson added. LeDoux performed on stage together. Advertised and promoted heavily on 580 WIBW, Country Legends 106.9, The BIG 94.5 Country, WibwNewsNow and the Kansas Agriculture Network, the rodeo, sanctioned by the Working Ranch Cowboys Association (WRCA), will feature 16 four-member-cowboy teams from ranches throughout the Midwest.

I'd been rooting around the History Department where, at age forty-one and only twenty years behind schedule, I'd finished my undergraduate degree. I had the academic bug and I wanted to move on to graduate school. Professor David Montejano was kind enough to let me sit in on one of his graduate courses to allow me to get a feel for what graduate work involved. As the seminar wound down, he suggested that I check out the AMS program on the third floor of Garrison Hall. I looked through the courses the department had been offering over the last few semesters and after noticing subjects like film history, jazz, a large collection of topics in popular culture, and seminars dealing with drugs, alcohol, and the beat generation, I knew I'd found a new home.
