Tex Lavallee , the Western Performer ....... the Early Years
Please enjoy looking back with me at my career experiences and enjoyment, from my early years.
As a young lad - 1946. I'm dreaming of becoming a western music performer.
As a young performer, at age 17, September - 1951. It was just before one of my western shows including my great trick horse "Kid", at Dorea Village, near Franklin, Quebec, Canada.Over a thousand people were present for this special two day,s weeken show.
My western band, "The Frontier Ramblers" - 1956.
From the left are:
* Andy Mayou, drummer
* Rennie Cloutier, at the microphone
* Gerry Giroux, fiddle player
* Tex Lavallee, guitar player & singer wearing red tie.
*The last guitar player is unknown at the present time.
In a promotion picture - 1959.
This picture of me was taken in 1961.
This picture was taken just before going on CKSH TV, Channel 9.
I'm getting ready to do a television interview and show.
