Jimmy Markham 50 year old master tapes
2009 May 27
FIFTY YEAR OLD TAPES! Jimmy Markham entrusted me with the master tapes from his first ever recording sessions for the radio show. Recorded at Sullivan’s Hi-Fi Studio in OKC. Markham singing with Leon Russell on piano, Carl Radle on bass, Chuck Blackwell on drums, and Tommy Crook on guitar. 50 years ago. The tapes sound great. Try that with a hard drive in 2059.

I worked with Jimmy and Lorelie Markham and Jim Byfield bck in the late 70′s. Where are they now? I think Byfield is still in Tulsa, but what about the Markhams?
Byfield and Markham are still around Tulsa – as far as I know. Not sure about Lorelei. I don’t really know her. She was married to Jerry Lynn Williams. Jerry died in 2005.
