Patsy (Freeman) & I grew up singing in church. We were teenagers when we met, and just six years later we were married. (51 years ) Our love for music led us to the "Indiana Jubilee",in Peru,Indiana.There we shared the stage with such notables as Brenda Gale, (later to become known as Chrystal Gale,to avoid any possible confusion with Brenda Lee),Tex Ritter,The Osborne Brothers, Nat Stuckey, & Loretta Lynn, just a few of the big stars who attended the "Jubilee." Our son Tim,and daughter,Kimila, also performed with these "well knowns",at a very early age. Both are still involved in music. "We have been very fortunate to have met so many great people, musicians, fans alike,in the Twin Lakes area" -Ted |
Ted & Patsy along with son Tim, and John Neighbors, made up the "Hobbs and Neighbors" band. They have performed not only at the Monday Night Jamboree, but at functions all over the Twin Lakes area, both private & public. They always gave freely of their talents, and I considered it a great honor to not only share a stage with them, but to call them my friends, Ted & John continue to play at the hospital in Mountain Home, at Wendy's on Tuesday, and at Reel-Em-In on Thursday, plus other gigs. Ted also plays twice a month at two different nursing homes, along with Frank, Rex,Tom, Bob Burazin, and myself, and every Monday at the Monday Night Jamboree. -Bobby Smith |
