A chance meet with Stan Vincent and Jim Gribble began a recording career as writer, musician, singer, and a member of the Valrays. Rod and the Valrays appeared with me on television and on stage at the '64 World's Fair. Rod also worked as a studio engineer with the very best, alongside Brooks Arthur and at the Allegro Studios.
