TINY LYNN- Graveyard Waltz (from Tiny Lynn, Tinymite T1001)
If he's best known for anything at all Tiny Lynn is known for Little Lehman's Half-Fast Songs which features what must surely be one of the most outlandish covers in country music. But in West Texas and East New Mexico Tiny had a career that spanned at least 20+ years beginning with Bob Tucker's Clovis based Caron Records (Sparkles, Murle Richardson) and probably finishing up with a handful of releases on his own Tinymite label. I haven't heard too much material that truly stands out, but Tiny seems to have been a bit of a funny man and steadily worked the South Plains honky tonk scene.
"Graveyard Waltz" was penned by Mr. Charlie Phillips of Borger who is best known for "Sugartime" on Columbia (covered in fine fashion by Johnny Cash).

I remember Tiny Lynn in '63, he was in Clovis. I had a record of him that he gave me. Don't remember the title
Charlie Philips was from Farwell TX at the time he wrote Sugartime.
What happened to a DJ at KZOL named Jimmy Peterson? Also was a country singer from Clovis
