Over the years, the Alabama Cattlemen's Association has been involved in some pretty interesting projects revolving around promoting beef. Whether it was putting the first "Beef Wagon" out on the highways in the mid 60's or posing for pictures in victory lane at Talladega Super Speedway some 40 years later with a replica of that beef wagon, there certainly have been some memorable moments.
Recently, as we try to often do, several ACA staffers were cleaning and organizing in and around the ACA headquarters building when we ran across two original 45 rpm vinyl records. Not having a phonograph on hand, we were able to take the two records to a local sound studio in Montgomery and have them converted over to CDs so we could listen to them. Never a group to settle, we converted them one more time to MP3 format so that we could share them with you here.
These songs date back to approximately the Fall of 1965 and were recorded by local artist Jack Turner. E. Ham Wilson, ACA's first Executive Secretary, often asked Jack to perform at ACA events. Louise Wilson teamed up with several collaborators from within the ACA family to write the script for these and other songs over the years.
