We think his name might have been Raymond Smith. Was at one time married to a Marlyn Bogan Calloway from Borger, Texas. They had a son who never knew anything until recently. The son would like to meet the Dad if we can find. The son is my niece's husband. The person we are trying to find was aware he had a son. A divorce took place when the child was about 18 months old. If someone has any idea who this man might be and if he has any interest please email me.

My father wrote and recorded several songs in the late 40s and into the 50s, including one that is on a CD, Hixville....his name was Otis Parker. He and my mother divorced when I was 12 and I didn't see him for many years. He had moved to Reno and was performing and recording there under the name of Jimmy Parker (his full name was James Otis Parker). We had several of his old records but in the 70s someone broke into our home and busted all of them to pieces. I saw my father twice in my adulthood, once when he was hospitalized in Nashville and we picked him up and took him home, and then a couple of years later I went to his funeral. I do have some of his later music which he recorded while living in Nevada, but it's his early recordings I am looking for. We lived in many cities and he recorded something in just about every one of them, since he worked for radio stations and had access to recording studios. He was born and raised right outside of Nashville and when he and my mother first married in the 40s he was working for the Opry. If anyone has anything that you think might would be my fathers work, I would love to hear from you. Cheryl Parker - cparkergirl7@yahoo.com Posted March 30, 2010 Hi Everyone. ..

Thanks, Terry - tkone@tpg.com.au Posted March 22, 2010 I am charter board member Of Rock Country Hall of fame, now known as Mid America Music Hall Of Fame. Established in1999, we are now in our 10th production year. (1 year was taken off to accomplish new goals: we no longer use outside facilities, but will now use our own facility located in Pine River, Mn.) As a musician and music collector (records, posters, cards, media articles, etc.) I was enlited to join the founders and have since become research director, photographer, and PR expert. Among my duties, I am a go-fer, advisor, and do other needed things such as promotion. This year starts a new 'chapter' in our format and mine as well. We are requesting all musicians, both those already on our roster as well as new comers, to provide us with their email addresses. We no longer will be sending snail-mail invitations. This is due to cost and expediancy considerations. Everything seems to be done now via computer. Those familiar with us know we are still an honorarium organization dedicated to recognition of musicians and music related entities for their contribution, large or small, to Minnesotas music industry. Included are those from other states who have contributed or have ties to the Minn. music scene. These are our fellow musicians from N.Dak, S. Dak, Iowa, Wisc, and others states (Canada) who have played here or recorded here. Should you have any interest in this type of organization, please be aware that we have in the past years inducted the likes of Bob Dylan, Bobby Vee, Dave Dudley, The Green Men, Unbelievable Ugles, Tornados, Canoise, Lynn Anderson, Larry Vern, Whiskey River, Big John Dickerson, Willy Walker, and countless others, including the likes of Arnie Fogel, Amos Heilcher (SOMA records), and so many more. Please feel free to email me at mnrocker1@yahoo.com or call me, Larry at 218-820-8303 for further info. Other sources for contact are Doug, 218-820-8301 and Cindy, 218-820-8302. We welcome any & all input or recommendations as to inductees. Since we are an open honorarium, we include rock and roll of the 50s-80s, as well as classic country, blues and other music of years gone by. Music often knows no boundaries and often is picked up by succeeding generations. We try to exclude nobody nor any style. Also, any collectible items looking for a home can be mentioned to me for my personal collection, or, in the event our museum efforts stabilize, may be donated for loan to the MAMHOF. Check out our current museum offerings, located in Albert Lea at the Eddie Cochran Museum. Let's hear from and and we hope you all keep rockin' bringing live music to all.
