Duane
David Allen Born: April 29, 1943 Taylortown, Texas Wife: Norah Lee Children: Jamie, Dee Grnadchildren: March, Kell Jeffrey Favorite Color: Blue Favorite Food: Southern Fried Chicken Hobby: Sports; Collecting antique autos ------------------------------ A native of Taylortown, TX, Duane ("Ace") had formal training in both operatic and quartet singing before becoming a member of the Oaks in 1966. He is an avid basketball fan and he plays whenever he gets the chance as a means of staying in shape. Duane is also an antique car buff with more than two dozen classics in a collection housed in a museum called Ace On Wheels. "We're currently restoring a 1950 Harley to go along with my car collection. It's a process I love, I get a lot of pleasure out of going down there with some of the guys from the road, sanding and painting with no real sense of urgency. It's a great way to relax." Duane's farm in Hendersonville, TN, features a menagerie that includes Longhorn cattle, horses, burros and Canada geese. A superb business man, he is credited with keeping the Oaks on firm financial footing during their switch from gospel to country in the '70s. |
