Besides the clip you have up there I couldn't find anything on Margie.
There's a bit more on the songwriters Ivan Ward and Cal Veale including this nice steel guitar instro by the two of them on Starday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mM0cS1XA7E.
Here's Ivans brief obituary "Modesto Bee, The (CA) - May 10, 2003 Deceased Name: IVAN Q. WARD May 1, 1928 -- May 9, 2003 Ivan Quinton Ward, 75, of Watts, Okla., died Friday at his home. Mr. Ward was a native of Watts, Okla. He had lived in Ceres 26 years before moving to Watts. He was a professional musician. He enjoyed fishing." (I think he lived in Watts 26 years before moving to Ceres)
Interestingly I did find mention that he was a founding member of the Siloam Springs Steel Guitar Club in Arkansas, a town that is fairly close to his hometown of Watts. I'm not sure when that was.
Cal Veale wrote and sang (or talked) the classic car crash song "Paralyzed" which is well worth a listen. http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2008/01/a-wreck-on-the.html He also worked with Bill Carter and did some producing.
According to Billboard in 1965 Slim Williamson and Ott Stephens who owned this label bought 50% of Cal Veale's Twin Oaks publshing company.
Never knew Cal Veale did a steel guitar instro. As P. Koskela noted in the video description, Veale was active in the Modesta, CA, area and worked with Bill Carter, who owned the Indigo label. Veale worked as a producer for this label and also wrote songs, including Carter's "Shot Four Times and Dying." Veale also tried his hand at singing, his first release being probably a rock&roll outing with the Howard Reading Trio on Las Vegas Records, "Don't Cry Baby" b/w "Standing on the Edge of Nowhere." Later, he also released "Paralyzed" and "40th & Plum" on Spring Records.
Transferring forgotten records into digital format. I especially seek music unavailable on cd, and do my best to post music unavailable elsewhere on the internet. If someone else has posted music, you probably won't see it repeated here.
Divshare links are not very reliable. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. The Mediafire links should work. Any that don't must be politely solicited from me via email:
