My name is Chuck Harding (Charles David Harding) too, and Googling my name led me to the very interesting story of your father's tenure at WBOA and some information about the band in the picture and all the other pictures of the band on your tribute website. What is really interesting is that I am also a guitar player, having taught myself how to play at the age of 12. (I am now 55). I play every week for my wife who is a cantor at St. Michael Church in Livermore, California.

Hi I'm from Kennett, mo home of KBOA. I lived in a house across the way from the apt house where some of the Colo Cowhands lived. Chuck and his wife Scotty lived in a tiny house across the alley from me. I would watch them when they came out all dressed in their cowboy outfits. They were very glamorous to me about 10 years old
at the time. I would be interested to know where the band went after they left Kennett.

My name is Fred "Freddy" Arechiga. I am from Waco, TX. I met Chuck when I was eight years old. I had wanted to play drums from the time I was six years old. It was 1958, on Franklin Ave. and my mother and I were sitting outside one of the teaching rooms. I was there for guitar lessons. My parents keep telling me that I was too little to play drums. So I took guitar for a short time. What I remember the most about the first time I saw Chuck was his side burns; Elvis had nothing on Chuck, except, Elvis had hair on the top of his head.

Some short time later, Chuck opened a music store next to my parent’s Tex-Mex restaurant. Once again, I was put in guitar classes. One day, Chuck had gotten an over shipment of drums, and had to sell them. Chuck had a talent for flushing-out natural musicians, so he gave drum lesson to all of his guitar students. . .49 years later, I am still playing drums everyday. I think of Chuck Harding’s Music Studio, on N. 19th, every time I set behind my drums. Thanks Chuck!!!!

I played with Chuck, Oneda, Glennis, and the Confederates once in Ft. Sill, OK. I played on TRC releases, “Sadness Is” and “You Better Find Your Way.” Tommy Christian, and Gaylan Latimer, who were former students of Chuck’s, also played on these tracks which featured Glennis as lead vocal.
