A local DJ played Making Love to a Stranger for George Jones when he came to town on a show date, and George wanted to record it, but the record company thought it was a little too spicy at that time, even though George wanted to do it.

They rented Watermelon Park in the summer of 1958 and booked such as The Louvin Brothers, The Stanley Brothers, George Jones, and others. George had not recorded his firt big hit,White Lighting at this time and the radio staion kept him with them for a whole week to play wherever they wanted him to because he would show up a week late if they didn't. Even back then he was "No-Show Jones".

They also had a fiddler's contest with John Hall and Scotty Stoneman. They were good friends but they loved to compete against each other in contests. Pete got John and Scott together to do twin fiddles on a song that Buzz wrote called I'll Always Wonder Why. Buzz played guitar on it. This was cut in 1960.

On the same session, they did a song that Buzz and Pete wrote together called Cotton Dice. It sold great in England. Buzz played guitar on both of these. This is the same session Making Love to a Stranger and Cold Grey Dawn were recorded on. These were all recorded in Ben Alderman's Studios in Washington D.C.

They recorded the songs The Legend of the Stars and Bars and On Top of the Hill in a radio station studio in Martinsville, Va. that Jim Eanes was working for. Jim was the A&R man for the session. They were also working for the Old Dominion Barn Dance every Saturday during this time.
