Ron Levine

Ron won a Grammy Award for the Orange Blossom Special/Hoedown on the Urban
Cowboy Soundtrack. The Grammy Award was for Best Country Instrumental. Ron was
the fiddle player for Gilley's Urban Cowboy Band at the time. He was touring with
the band during filming of the Urban Cowboy movie. Mickey Gilley and the Urban
Cowboy Band split their time between touring and performing at Gilley's club, in
addition to sessions at Gilley's Recording Studio. After touring with Mickey Gilley for
a few years Ron moved to Colorado, skiing in the day and playing music at night.
The next logical step was to move to Nashville. In Nashville, Ron toured or recorded
with various artists including Dottie West, Michael Martin Murphy, Lobo, Mickey
Gilley, Bertie Higgins, and Becky Hobbs, as well as shows with Kenny Rogers, Charlie
Daniels, Merle Haggard, B.J. Thomas, Roy Clark and Conway Twitty. He performed on
various television shows including Nashville Now, Church Street Station and Grand
Ole Opry Live. PBS American Skyline did a special on Ron's career.

After touring with Dottie West for 3 years, Ron left the music business and life on
the road to raise a family. He never intended to stop playing music. Multiple
Sclerosis changed this plan. There was a time when he couldn't hold a violin, let
alone play it. He can now. Ghost Riders is the result. It is a combination of new
recordings and tracks recorded when he lived in Nashville.

Thanks for purchasing a copy of the Ghost Riders CD. We hope you enjoy it.
