| Description |
Little is known of William A. Ford whose prime income came from his work as a barber in Houston. He met Peck Touchton and his band as a place called Betros’ Dine and Dance on Studewood and asked to sit in, saying he was looking for a band to back him on some songs he had written. James Bell remembered: “He lived in Channelview. He was about five or six years older than I was…On his left hand, he’d injured his index finger. He couldn’t use it at all. He played guitar with three fingers, open chords all the time. He was easy going; ambitious, but not too ambitious. He knew that nobody could make a living playing music,…None of us quit our day jobs.”
These sessions date throughout the 1950s. |
