***With his Fulawka Steel Guitar***
	Steel Guitar is Paul's first love! He had recorded his first album, at the age of 21, with Paragon Records in 1962, called "Big Steel Guitar". One of the cuts from this album was used as the theme song for "The Uncle Benny Show " on CHOO radio in Ajax ON. This photo was taken in August 2000 during a boat cruise in Toronto Harbour. Paul has been playing Country and Gospel music for over 40 years.

**The Country Showmen**
***Bunt Lewis / Earl Tryon / Bill Johnson / Paul Evans***
	In the early 70's, 4 very dedicated musicians came together to form "The Country Showmen". They began to receive acclaim and recognition through their gigs at shows, fairs and local clubs. After several years of performing together, the band broke up and each musician pursued different career opportunities. Paul went on to play steel guitar with country artist - Con Archer, as well as many of the top artists of that time.

***The Country Showmen & Caroll Baker***
	During the time that the Country Showmen were together they played at place called "The Hay Loft" It was a barn with the upper part converted into a dance hall. This is where me met Carol Baker. After hearing her sing we invited her back to every show that we did at the Hay Loft. She was a smashing success with the fans and soon, was on her way to great success. *Photo was taken at "The Hay Loft".* *Around 1970*

**Uxbridge Valley Jamboree**
Bob Hathaway had begun to promote a jamboree in Uxbridge and it wasn't long before he asked Paul to get involved with it. This was a new venture and featured country artists from all over. It began in the Town Hall and shortly after it started was moved to the Roxy Theatre . Bob would do the advertising and promotions and Paul would book the talent and the band. Playing along side of Paul was his brother Dave Evans, (Guitar) Paul Harris, (Drums) Joe Coppins, (Bass). We had a D.J., "Dave Johnson" from CFGM, (at the time, Canada's No.1 Country radio station ). The crowds were good and we featured guest singers such as Caroll Baker, Ed Vance, Con Archer and Diane Leigh. Diane was performing on a TV show called 'The Carl Smith Show'. She had won awards from the Canadian Country Music Awards in the 60's. Promoters and managers would come to the jamboree and this where Caroll Baker met George Petrolia, a promoter of country music. George introduced Caroll to talent manager, Don Grashey, from Thunder Bay. This is when Caroll recorded her first record. Caroll was soon getting air play and the fans loved her. She became one of Canada's top female vocalists, winning many awards from the C.C.M.A.. Bob and Paul wanted to take this show to radio but the concept was turned down by CFGM after it was presented by Dave Johnson. Not long after this, CFGM started there own jamboree called "Opry North" and the Uxbridge Valley Jamboree slowly began to phase out.

***The Durham Country Pickers***
***Tom Mark - Joe Linge - Paul Wasson - Paul Evans***
	The Durham Country Pickers was a popular country band in the late 80's. They enjoyed a popularity locally and played at several dances, shows, jamborees and private corporate functions. This group worked together for about 5 years until each member went on to pursue other interests. It was a real pleasure for Paul to work with these very talented musicians.

**Ambassador Records**
***Paul & Linda Evans with their son Robin***
	Ambassador Records was founded in 1977 and is located at 185 Oshawa Blvd. S., Oshawa, Ontario.

They now offer in-house CD duplication, labelling and packaging.

***Paul & Linda Evans and***
***The 'Classic Country Music Reunion'***
	Linda and Paul have been involved with the Classic Country Music Reunion, as directors, from 1999 to 2003. As directors of the main stage, it has been their job to book the sound system, band members and the artists that perform on the main stage, as well as the Saturday morning downtown show and the Sunday morning gospel program. For the past three years Ambassador Records has produced a compilation CD for the C.C.M.R., featuring many of that years artists. The CD has been a great tool to promote the artists and the C.C.M.R. to local radio stations for air play.

***Paul Evans - Steelin' From The Heart***
	“Steelin’ From The Heart” is a collection of country and gospel songs that are close to my heart. My influences for playing steel guitar came from Bob Lucier, Al Brisco, Rusty Walker, Ollie Strong, Neil Flanz, Buddy Emmons, Lloyd Green and Tom Brumley. Over the last 2 years I have enjoyed the fine talent of Ron Elliott. Although I have created my own style, the steel guitar still challenges me for more knowledge. I have been playing steel guitar for over 40 years and to this day it still inspires me as much as it did when I started playing. I hope you enjoy the songs on this CD, Steelin’ From The Heart. Thanks Paul Evans

***A Tribute To Dad - Pierre Evans***
	I was 18 years old when my dad bought me my first professional steel guitar from Bob Lucier. It was an eight string Sho-Bud with three floor pedals and two knee levers. Dad was an evangelist, preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was a wonderful man and had a love for souls. I promised dad that when I learned how to play the steel, and I sure hope that I know how after 40 years, that I would record an album for the Lord’s work. I dedicate this CD to dad for all his support and the love he had shown me over the years. Dad went home to be with the Lord in 1966.

***Special Thanks - To Eddy Fulawka***
