Let me tell you what I have done!

As a kid in the 1960’s I performed on a television show and various churches in Ohio and Florida.

In the mid 70’s I recorded with Billy Walker ( producer of the Johnny Cash show and other country music shows). I did two original recordings with him and the Tennessee Two and then he called me to come back and do two more at his expense. I also did a television show with the Marty Robbins Band and Patsy Stoneman in Lima Ohio. My brother in law at the time was Jimmy Stephens. He got me on the Jamboree upstairs radio show once. Joann Davis is my sister.

From mid 70’s to the early 80’s I had my own group called Dave Parsons and the Family Tradition Band. The top radio station at that time was W.M.N.I and they had me and my band back up their Nashville Artist when they had local appearances. When they advertised in the media they always stated that we were country favorites. We opened for such acts as John Anderson, Russ Allison, Robert Fuller and Steve Wariner to name a few.

In 1989 I received a plaque from The Country Music Association in Ohio (over 2000 strong at the time ) awarding me The song of the year I wrote and recorded called “Mama’s Tear Stained Pillow. “

In 1990 I moved to Nashville Tennessee and had the following experiences:

1. Met and hired a lady by the name of Debby Swayne to be my producer and manager.

Debby was instrumental in getting the New Kids On The Block started. Debby was

also close friends with Bob Doyle (Garth Brooks manger) who gave me material to

record and helped in planning stages of my career.

the issues waiting on better deals.

4. Dick McVey (George Jones Manager) put me in a group called the Nashville

Country Music Revue Show managed by Richard Johnson. I was offered a position

to open for the Grand Old Opry Road show in 1992 with this group. I would have

been the headliner with a young lady named Leann Rimes at the time. I declined.

5. Bobby Seymour of Nashville Tennessee and Hee Haw offered co management on me.

6. Several Recordings to my credit from these years.
