Don't known much about Sam Lillibridge. But for sure he was not a man to give up an idea. Some twenty two years earlier already, he reported to Billboard (Feb.7, 1953 issue) that "he is still pioneering the trumpet as a country instrument on various jamborees in Texas". Sam Lillibridge was, at that time, D.J. on KCLW, Hamilton, Texas. This Colsam release is indeed a country record and, indeed, you can hear plenty of trumpet...
