I FOUND IT VERY INTERESTING THAT THE RADIO STATIONKNUS INCARTHAGE TEXAS TOLD THAT LARRY GATLIN WAS A FOOTBALL PLAYER FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON--FOR THOSE INRUSK COUNTY IT IS INTERESTING TO NJOTE THAT WHEN GATLIN WAS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON--SO WAS MIKE SIMPSON AND THEY BECAME GREAT FRIENDS AND STILL ARE TO THIS DAY--MIKE , OF COURSE, WAS GREAT PLAYING THE GUITAR, ESPECIALLY CHET ATKINS--LARRY GATLIN GOT INTERESTED IN MIKE PLAYING THE GUITAR AND SOON DECIDED THAT HE ALSO WANTED TO PLAY THE GUITAR. SO MIKE TAUGHT LARRY GATLIN SOME THINGS ON THE GUITAR AND OF COURSE WE ALL ENJOY LARRY GATLIN AND THE GATLIN BROTHERS--BUT YOU CAN BET , WHEN LARRY COMES CLOSE TO HENDERSON TEXAS MIKE AND BECKIE GOT AN INVITE TO THE CONCERT--MIKE WENT ON TO PLAY WITHE THE SAN FRANCISCO FORTY NINERS AND LATER AS PASROR OF THE EMANUELE CHURCH IN HENDERSON FOR MANY YEARS--BEING A GREAT FRIEND OF MIKE AND BECKIE AND THE FACT THAT HE USED TO BE MY CLOSE NEIGHBOR IN MINDEN TEXAS,I FIND THIS CLOSE CONNECTION BETWEEN LARRY GATLINAND MIKE SIMPSON VERY INTERESTING AND SOME THING ALL WILL WANT TOKNOW.--WE NEED TO FURNISH THE RADIO STATION IN CARTHAGE ABOUT THIS SO THEY CAN TELL--THE REST OF THE STORY--THANK YOU VERY MUCH --DAN JARRELL
