Chain Reaction
Thursday June 28th, 2018 with Allen Roulston
A Chain of Songs Linked Together By One Degree of Separation via Artists Performing the Music

Loyal Listeners have an opportunity to win an original abstract painting created by Jo Roulston. You may see samples of the Acrylic Paint Pour creations at this link: https://www.facebook.com/Jo-Pours-Paint-1782761835125093/ To be eligible to win one of Jo's creations you simply need to post on Jo Pours Paint page mentioning the song playing at the time you are leaving the post and LIKE the page. All of the songs in the playlist are linked directly by a personal relationship between the artists performing the previous and subsequent music.
Opening Remarks. I hope I can come up with something interesting, entertaining, compelling, transfixing or, at the very least, amusing.

Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman
There were four guitar players on the Pretty Woman session: Roy Orbison, Billy Sanford, Jerry Kennedy, and Wayne Moss. Billy Sanford, who later played on sessions for Elvis Presley, Don Williams and many others, played the intro guitar. Williams introduced him as a kid who had just arrived Nashville, with a borrowed guitar, who heard Orbison was minus a guitar player, who went over and got the gig. Other musicians on the record included Floyd Cramer on piano, Bob Moore on an upright bass, Boots Randolph on saxophone, Charlie McCoy on harmonica, Buddy Harman on drums, and Paul Garrison on percussion. Orbison played a 12-string Epiphone. Bill Porter served as recording engineer for the song
