THERE A UNIQUE DIFFERANCE IN COUNTRY MUSIC AND REAL WESTERN MUSIC. RED FOLEY WAS MY CHILDHOOD FAVORITE.HIS RECORDING OF OLD SHEP.. PAPPY'SGOLDEN PLOW SHEAR..AND OF COURSE..PEACE IN THE VALLEY! HE RECORDED IT IN ABOUT 1950'S, WITH THE SUNSHINE BOYS.. AND IT BECAME THE FIRST GOSPEL RECORD TO SELL OVER 1,000,000! IN 57,(AT AGE 17)I WAS IN SPRINGFIELD,MO, PLAYINGAND SINGING GOSPEL.. FOR A TENTCRUSADE. I WAS INVITED TO SINGTHE GOSPEL SONG, FOR RED FOLEY,AT THE END OF HIS SAT. NIGHT NATIONAL T.V. PROGRAM.."THE OSARK JUBLEE." (FOLEY WAS ONVACATION) I SANG PEACE IN THEVALLEY ON ONE SHOW AND IT ISNO SECRET, ON THE OTHER.(THATWAS MY FIRST NATIONAL TV APPEAR- ANCE)RED FOLEY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SINGERS, TO DO SONGS WITH A STORY NARRATION, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG. HIS SONGS ALWAYS HAD ALOT OF HEAT!FOLEY'S MUSIC AND VOICE,GREATLY INSPIRED MY LIFE! (NOTE: RED WAS PAT BOONES FATHER-IN-LAW)
