'Check out more info here. http://arnet.pair.com/RedEllis/index.html Red Ellis was born in 1929 on a farm near Arkadelphia, Arkansas. When he was in the 8th grade, the family moved to Malvern, Arkansas. When Red was about 18 years old (1947) , he started playing country music with T.F. Currington, who played guitar and acoustic bass, and T.F.\'s father, who played fiddle. The three of them played at jamborees (music festivals) in the Malvern, Hot Springs, and Benton areas in Arkansas. At this time, Troy Smith had a radio program on KTHS in Hot Springs, Arkansas. He invited T.F. and Red to play with him. They did and were joined occasionally by Edd Coston, who taught Red a lot about harmony singing. Red recalls he also learned a good deal about guitar playing from Troy Smith. 1949 | Click for larger photo In addition to performing together on the radio program, Red and Troy did personal appearances at schools and jamborees.'
