Taylor Pie : I met a couple of singer/pickers named Don Williams and Lofton Kline. We formed a trio called the Pozo-Seco Singers and when Mike came home to Corpus for Christmas break and played me a new song he’d written called, “Time”, I knew it would be perfect for the Pozos. I made him teach me all the chords and the lyrics in one afternoon, because I knew it was so special.
Paul Butts, acting as our manager at that time, took us to Gold Star Recording Studio in Houston to cut Mike’s tune for a local label called Edmark Records. Mike went along and played the upright bass, and it became a regional hit for us. Joe Mansfield, promotion man for Columbia Records, heard the song, signed us up, and in 1966, “Time” charted #1 on Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston radio stations, followed by four albums on Columbia.
Paul eventually stepped aside allowing Albert Grossman to manage us, and we toured extensively over the next five years, changing our lineup several times with Ron Shaw replacing Lofton Kline, and for the last couple of years, Don and I worked as a Pozo-Seco duet with backup musicians like Teddy Irwin on guitar and Brad Campbell from the Paupers on bass.
