About the Group
Up in the far Northwest in Spanaway, Washington around 1954, was where
you would find this foursome. Don and his three sons had been playing
together at this time for about two years or around 1952. Even in that short span
of time, their popularity had them making radio,
TV and live appearances throughout Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia.
This act did personal appearances out west in such venues as The Ranch Inn in Elko,
Nevada, the 3-D's in Great Falls, Montana and The Cowboy Bar in Jackson,
Wyoming.
