My cousin Pat Minter (1935-2001) was a singer, songwriter and pianist. He worked throughout East Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas, often on the Holiday Inn circuit. He recorded numerous singles under the auspices of such legends as Jack Rhodes and Huey P. Meaux, and also appeared in several motion pictures. In the summer of 1966, I spent part of my summer vacation with Pat's parents and siblings in Pickton, TX. Pat came to visit and the two of us played and recorded some songs. Pat is on guitar here, which wasn't his first instrument, and I, at age 15, had a lot to learn. But Pat is in great voice, and we had fun, as you will hear. Enjoy!
