During the years as the ALAMO BAND we played music in several clubs in Indiana and in Ohio, Michigan, and Florida. We made countless recordings in Indiana cities, such as Indianapolis, Richmond and Alexandria. We recorded four albums in Nashville, Tenn. In such studios as THE FIRESIDE owned by Porter Wagner, REFLECTIONS STUDIO and SCRUGG’S STUDIO’S.
