biography
Larry Welborn was born April 13, 1939 in Pleasant Hill, OK
Larry played upright bass with the "Buddy, Bob & Larry" trio in 1955 - they played fairs, clubs, skating rinks, and any place they could showcase their new rockabilly sound. Recording wise, he appeared on the early undubbed recordings "Down The Line", "Brown Eyed Handsome Man", "Bo Diddley" & others.
His most notable performance is on "That'll Be The Day" & "I'm Looking For Someone To Love".
When Buddy & Bob split, Welborn switched to guitar & the Four Teens were formed which included Joe B. Mauldin on bass, Terry Welborn & Brownie Higgs (drums). The group became very popular in the Lubbock area & released some recordings that did well for them too including "Go Little Go Cat" and "Spark Plug".
Welborn continued to do session work at Clovis & was briefly with The Crickets in the 60's.
He now resides in Oklahoma, performs locally with his band and operates his own recording studio.
