Check out Ted Daffan’s bio from the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Or if you’re curious where he’s buried (he died in ’96), this little site will tell ya.
Ted also ran a record label, Daffan Records, where he cut sites on artists like Jerry Irby and Floyd Tillman starting in 1955.
Bear Family released a compilation on it, The Daffan Records Story — read notes and hear some clips from that collection on bopping.org.
