Randy Dorman a native Texan is the son of Bruce and Hazel Dorman.I began playing guitar at the age of 9 years old. I could have started two years earlier, my parents gave me a choice between a Roy Rogers guitar and a Superman suit... well I decided to fly around the house.

My first electric guitar was a Kay that my parents bought me from a pawn-shop for $40.00. It wasn't great but it was all mine and I loved it.
During my high school years I got a Gibson ES-335. That guitar played like melted butter! It carried me through several local groups and a year at North Texas State University.

I then had the great fortune of meeting a true gentleman by the name of Roy Clark who invited my family to Nashville to watch them record Hee Haw. I liked Nashville so much I stayed and got a gig with a band called the Brass Monkey. A few years and bands later I did a session that Kenny Rogers was producing and shortly there after was hired. That was in September of 1977.
