He obtained most of his fame on the Cincinnati-based WLW-TV show "Midwestern Hayride" as the fiddle player on the show.

Langdon played with well-known greats like Kenny Price, Bonnie Lou, Buddy Ross and Jay Neas. He also sang backup for James Brown at King Records in Cincinnati, OH in the early 1960s.

He got his start in country music at Renfro Valley in Kentucky.

Langdon also appeared on the Arthur Godfrey show in the late 1950s.

Langdon, Price, Ross and Jay Neas were part of a country music band called "The Hometowners"

Langdon died of liver cancer in 1988. His survivors are wife, Faye, and son, James (Jamie), Worthington, OH and children from a previous marriage, Lynda, Barry, Larry, Donna, Devona, and eleven grandchildren.

gollark: Support for `b` has been added.
gollark: Hold on, that will be patched in v6.12468.
gollark: - All this useless random junk can autoupdate (this is probably a backdoor)!- EZCopy allows you to easily install potatOS on another device, just by sticking it in the disk drive of any potatOS device!- fs.load and fs.dump - probably helpful somehow.- Blocks bad programs (like the "Webicity" browser).- Fully-featured process manager.- Can run in "hidden mode" where it's at least not obvious at a glance that potatOS is installed.- Convenient, simple uninstall with the "uninstall" command.- Turns on any networked potatOS computers!- Edits connected signs to use as ad displays.- A recycle bin.- An exorcise command, which is like delete but better.- Support for a wide variety of Lorem Ipsum.
gollark: Best viewed in Internet Explorer 6.00000000000004 running on a Difference Engine emulated under MacOS 7 on a Pentium 3. Features:- Fortunes/Dwarf Fortress output/Chuck Norris jokes on boot (wait, IS this a feature?)- (other) viruses (how do you get them in the first place? running random files like this?) cannot do anything particularly awful to your computer - uninterceptable (except by crashing the keyboard shortcut daemon, I guess) keyboard shortcuts allow easy wiping of the non-potatOS data so you can get back to whatever nonsense you do fast- Skynet (rednet-ish stuff over websocket to my server) and Lolcrypt (encoding data as lols and punctuation) built in for easy access!- Convenient OS-y APIs - add keyboard shortcuts, spawn background processes & do "multithreading"-ish stuff.- Great features for other idio- OS designers, like passwords and fake loading (est potatOS.stupidity.loading [time], est potatOS.stupidity.password [password]).- Digits of Tau available via a convenient command ("tau")- Potatoplex and Loading built in ("potatoplex"/"loading") (potatoplex has many undocumented options)!- Stack traces (yes, I did steal them from MBS)- Backdoors- er, remote debugging access (it's secured, via ECC signing on disks and websocket-only access requiring a key for the other one)
