Hi, Hal!

I'd love to learn the identities about the two other members of Droopy Drawers! I think you have us stumped for an answer.

Thanks so much for confirming our guesses that Glen's first television appearance was on KOB in Alb! He must have been very young at this time?

Thanks for your hint! Is it the man who wrote this song, Hal?



Was he one of The Droopy Drawers? This is really fascinating stuff!

Hal,

You have asked some GOOD questions.

I am at a loss with regard to the members of Texas slim and the droopy drawers! Please tell!

I'm guessing KOB Time, too, with Dick Bills? Or was Glen on an earlier television show in Albuquerque?

Here is a little picture that I have in my collection of Glen's Uncle Dick Bills on his television program:

We can't wait to find out the answers to these questions!

Thanks so much!

Hi Hal,
sounds to me you go way back with Glen. Really wonderful that you joined the Glen Campbell Forums.
Texas Slim is mentioned briefly in Glen's autobiography but I never heard about The Droopy Drawers. Love that name!
I have no idea who else was in that band. I believe this was during the time Glen stayed in Lindrith, NM with the Hardy family? I would love to hear more about that time.

The first tv show in Albuquerque Glen appeared on... K Circle B Time perhaps, with his Uncle Dick Bills?

Welcome to the forums Hal, and thanks for joining!
