I my dad, Ernest Hackworth was a friend of Bea Terry. I sent her a tape recording of some of my songs while I was in the USAF, and after she heard them she asked me to visit her in Hollywood where we would make a demo with the Blue Boys andI could meet Jim Ree es at the Palomino Club where he would by singing. We made the demo late that night in a private stusio and redid the voice track the next day at a large studio. Bea wanted to be my manager but I got married after I was discharged. We all make decisions. I have thirteen letters from Bea from 1961 while I was stationed at Goose Bay, Labrador. She was great and I enjoyed meeting Jim and the Blue Boys. Thanks, Mike Hackworth Texarkana, Texas
