Wade Ray got his start in the music business in 1917 at the tender age of 4. Playing the vaudville circuit he was billed as the worlds youngest fiddler. I found mention he played on some Willie Nelson sessions which may be how he ended up on Antenna. Willie (who started his career in Nashville writing for Pamper) and Hannk Cochran bought Pamper from Ray Price in 1968. I agree Wade was too good to pruduce demo's, but if it payed the bills.

Early 60's (TN) Label I think.
This was Pamper Musics label. I Think it was used for demo purposes, one problem was Wade was too damn good to produce demo records!
