CLIFTON JANSKY
Clifton Jansky: From Amarillo by Morning...
Clifton Jansky: Get Off the Fence
"Ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome to the stage, CLIFTON JANSKY AND THE DRIFTERS OF SAN ANTONIO." You would hear these words, and find me under the spotlights of some south Texas dance hall every Saturday singing "Amarillo by Morning". For 22 years I entertained south Texas with my country music and became one of the well-known performers in the area. With twelve regional hits on country radio including, "Amarillo by Morning", which was later recorded by George Strait, a national recording contract seemed to be the next step in my career. However, after several trips to Nashville and opening shows for artists like Gary Morris, Lee Greenwood, Tanya Tucker and Eddie Rabbitt, the big break had not come, and my childhood dream of performing on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry seemed just out of reach.
All that changed in 2002 when Clifton was named "Male Vocalist of the Year" by the CCMA (Christian Country Music Association), and got to perform on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium during the award show telecast. These days you can find Clifton performing in prisons, rodeos, barbecues, churches, street corners, and even a Wal-Mart or two.
