Jerry sent me this info on guitarist Dennis Linde:
He graduated from Normandy High School and played guitar for the Starlighters and later with Bob Kubans band. He went on to write many hit songs including Burning Love – Elvis Presley, Mark Chesnutt's hits with Bubba Shot The Juke Box and It Sure Is Monday, Janie Baker's Love Slave by Shenandoah, Queen Of My Double Wide Trailer by Sammy Kershaw, John Deere Green by Joe Diffie, Callin' Baton Rouge by Garth Brooks, Goodbye Earl by the Dixie Chicks, and most recently The Talkin' Song Repair Blues by Alan Jackson.
