Bio
I loved to sing as a boy and started writing songs at the age of 8 or 9 years old; it was just something I loved to do.. as if it were part of my soul. One summer while my grand parents were on vacation, I had been snooping through the attic and came upon this old dusty banjo case, and when I opened it there inside was a very old tenor banjo! I asked my grandfather if I could use it, he said I could have it, and gave it to me, from that point on I was "hooked".Well one day wile working on this banjo, the janitor in my dads factory said that he had an old banjo in he closet for years and said he would bring it in for me to look at, and would sell it for $250.00. well the next day he brought it in to work, and I just flipped! It was an old 5 string SS Stewart, hand crafted about 1880, covered in mother of pearl with an ebony fret board and mahogany neck a hand carved grapeleaf disigne on the back of neck. Talk about falling in love; I fell in Love with this banjo. It was the most beautiful instrument I had ever seen. My dad said I'de wasted my money,HA HA!! boy was he ever wrong!! I have traveled all over this country with this banjo and it has brought me more joy the past 34 years than anything I have ever owned in my entire life. I continued to go the way of song writing, in spite of challenges along the way that have made me even more persistant to be a songwriter. I've always been a singer, and sense I was born to sing. and here I am to this day, still writing and singing songs. Nothing in this life will ever please me more! I have been a devoted fan of Country Music my entire adult life, Ron's music cuts a wide swath of styles combining all kinds of music creating a very creative mix of songs. He started out as a classical french horn player and practiced at reading music until he dropped the horn for ~Singing Songwriting Guitar Playing~ in the late 50's...His first band in the 60's was called ~The Down An Out~ then he joined a band as the lead singer called ~The Yorkshires~ then they changed there name to the ~Kyds at Play~ by 1968 he had his first record released in NYC called ~Look Around You~ with his band on a small record label called ~Frog Records~ these cats played all over the east coast and played the W.M.C.A. RADIO good guy hops for the legendery mega producer ~Phil Spector~ as the years went by they changed there name to the ~The County Fair~ then scored a record deal in Nashville with ~Plantation Records~ owned by ~Shelby Singilton~ and several songs on Rons album called ~Collections of Ron Daisley~ and the ~Collectables Records~ verison called ~The Frog Record Story~ were produced by ~Royce Clark~ who later played the D.J. in the motion picture ~The Coal Miners Daughter~ staring ~Sissey Spacek~ Ron now has a studio in ~Austin Texas~ where he is recording several new CD's along with producing other projects and will hire out for sound engineering Weather I am rich, poor, happy, or sad, I will write and sing...you can here some of my songs from the 60's and get more information by going to my website... www.rondaisley.com
