We’ve got a phone interview with Diane Baham. Now, Diane Baham comes from a very interesting family. Her late father Roy Baham was a great country music songwriter. Roy Baham was born in 1927 in Amite, Louisiana and passed away in Nashville, Tennessee in 2012. Roy wrote some classic country songs, like “Charlie’s Shoes,” recorded by Billy Walker, and “Blue Lonely Winter,” recorded by Jimmy C. Newman. Ray Price, Bobby Bare, Jeannie Seely, Burl Ives, Skeeter Davis, they all recorded Roy Baham songs.

Diane’s brother, Jonathan Baham was also an artist and songwriter. Jonathan Baham or Jonny as he was called, was born in Bessemer, Alabama in 1951 and passed away in St. Petersburg, Florida in 2016. Jonathan Baham wrote the song “Lovely Cruise,” recorded and made famous by Jimmy Buffett on his “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes” album.
