If I can help you and Jean in any way, please let me know. Who have you chosen for her next producer? I would be honored if considered. However, I would love to send you some songs, which I believe are worthy of consideration. Let me know. Thanks. Have a Merry Christmas downunder my friend...would love to visit your beautiful country sometime...perhaps a tour?
Your friend,

I believe I wrote a comment to Jean Stafford, and found out Jimmie produced her last album. If I can ever help, please let me know. I'd love to send her a few songs for consideration, as I really like her singing.
Stay well my friend and keep in touch.

DEAR WAYNE:
THANK YOU FOR ADDING ME AS YOUR FRIEND! THE PLAYERS YOU HAVE MENTIONED WHO WERE YOUR INFLUENCES SOME ARE AND WERE DEAR FRIENDS. I KNOW HAROLD BRADLEY VERY WELL, HE HAS PLAYED ON SEVERAL SESSIONS FOR ME. JOHN HUGHEY WAS A DEAR GUY AND ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS EVER. JIMMIE CRAWFORD WAS NOT ONLY A FRIEND, BUT HE WORKED FOR ME FOR OVER A YEAR WHEN I CARRIED TWO (2) STEEL GUITARS IN MY BAND "THE NASHVILLE EXPRESS"...THE OTHER PLAYER WAS SMILEY ROBERTS WHO WORKED FOR ME NEARLY 30 YEARS. ONE DAY I WOULD LOVE TO COME TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. I BELIEVE I HAD SOME RECORD SUCCESS IN AUSTRALIA IN THE '70'S...KEEP ON PICKIN'
YOUR FRIEND,
TOMMY OVERSTREET (T.O.)
