'Please accept my wife, Beverly's recipe for brown rim cookies for your cookbook. There is nothing better than this to munch on while sitting around and picking Country music with our friends! I bet that Redd would have been hooked on em' in just seconds!

Speaking of Redd, I can still hear him and Pee Wee King at Lodi Indiana, just after the amateur show there in 1947 when my brother and I took second place. They played some of the prettiest music, this side of Heaven. We all miss them greatly.' (Jack & Beverly Bowman)
