The Singing Schoolteacher

Today I would like to share a tune by "The Singing Schoolteacher," Arlie Duff, who was born in Southeast Texas in 1924. After World War II, Duff earned a BS and an MA in education from Stephen F. Austin and went on to a teaching and coaching career. During his years in education, he moonlighted as a country singer and songwriter. He eventually achieved such a degree of success that he found himself playing at the Grand Ole Opry. Duff passed away on July 4, 1996.

If you would like to learn more about Arlie Duff, here is a link to a Texas State Historical Association article:
