Jock Dockery Jack Dockery Signs Recording Contract By Dave Bruce Would be country music stars are numerous in our mountain area and they find the road to Nashville is us ually a rough one to travel. One Cherokee County native put his name on the dotted line for recording and song writing contracts with Adco Records and Adco Music. He is Jack Oockery, who grew up in the Bell view Com munity. His wife is the for mer Kathy Hancock, a native of Marble. Jack started playing the five-string banjo when he was about 10 years old and later learned the guitar. Before leaving Murphy, about eight years ago, he sang with a gospel group on Radio Station WKRK. He lives in Connelly Spring, N. C. now and works as a saw salesman for a firm in Lenoir. Eugene Ledford of Marble negotiated the contracts for Jack with Adco owner Jack Adkins. Ledford will act as his manager -agent until arrangements can be made to place him with a Nashville agency. Jack signed the contracts in our presence at Ledford's home in Marble last Thursday. This was just a formality, because he has already had his first recording session for Adco. Both sides of the first record are his own songs - "Lonely Heart" and "The Barroom". The record will be on the market around the first of November. Jack said the session was held in Hickory and he is backed by a steel guitar, electric lead guitar, electric bass, and his own guitar. Securing the contracts re presents a major step forward for a young man who was previously wellknown only in the area of Granite Falls, N. C. where he appeared on a radio show on Station WKJK. It was obvious to me that Jack Dockery does not have stars in his eyes. He is under no illusions that star dom waits just around the next turn. But he has achieved a major goal that any art ist must attain if he is to succeed. Country music Is one of the most competitive businesses around and only the strongest survive. Cherokee County native Jack Docery will be out to prove that he can survive. Plane Wreckage Found In White County, Ga. ROBERTSTOWN, Gt.? The wreckage of a light plane, missing since Sept. 1 with ?
