Was this Dick Damron guy the same guy as the Rockabilly Dickie Damron in the 1950's who had hits like "I Guees Thats Life"?

[nashvilleshowcase]

Yes same guy. Member of the CCMA  Hall of Honour in Canada. Started out as a Rockabilly artist in the 50's. Dick is also a book author.

[HUMPHRIESification]

My band & I did 2 UK tours with Dick in the 1980's and worked alongside him on a few shows when we toured Canada in 1984. Dick Damron is definitely one of the nicest guys I've ever had the pleasure of knowing in this crazy & sometimes phoney business they call "show".

[RainCoastWest]

I love this guy - when I first hit the Country scene in The Lower Mainland - along with Elmer Tippe and Dave Paul and Ray McAuley, Dick was one of the folks who made me feel welcomed. About as UNswell-headed and down-to-earth as you could get. A great heart, great writer - and great fun !!!

No, Misred1, I joined in June 1976.

@kurohyou07 where you in the forces on aug 9th 1974 ?

[kurohyou07]

I'm a family friend of the Damrons - Dicks brother Bob (Clarence) and his wife Joya. I only met Dick two or three times, I rode up on the old Harley, he (Dick) and I chatted at Bob's house for a bit. He's as down to earth as you and I. Fame does not taint a good soul.

My best friend before I joined the Army (Canadian Forces) Was Dicks nephew, Dana Damron. Bob and Joya's Son. He was killed in the late 70's by a train in Red Deer, Alberta Canada. My Sister and Dana were sorta dating.

Oh My, I remember singing that song when I was a little girl. Dick was a family friend. I remember waving to him threw the TV.

Dick had (and still has!) a great voice -to bad he didn't get his records on a bigger label! Got two LP's of him -love to hear 'Alberta Skyline'!!! I'll cut it myself one day!
