Ampro Productions - Texas was founded by Darrell Wade and
                                                                                   Melissa Pawek in 1992. In 1990 Darrell Wade and Earline Huff
                                                                                   Founded "The Dale Watson Fan Club". (DWFC)

                                                                                   Darrell was the Fan Club President and Earline was the Vice-
                                                                                   President. We both had no idea what we were doing. Earline's
                                                                                   Job was to keep the books and make sure that all the members
                                                                                   were satisfied. We had many projects to keep us busy.

                                                                                   Dale was also very busy, it was very hard to keep up with all
                                                                                   that he was doing. One thing that Dale had going for him was
                                                                                   the Curb deal. We all thought Dale's time had came. Dale had
                                                                                   just released "One Tear at a Time". The record was getting
                                                                                   plenty of air play around the country. We ask KIKK radio in
                                                                                   Houston to play his song, however Joe Ladd called us and
                                                                                   ask us if we could ask the fan club members to stop call him
                                                                                   to request Dale's songs. If you ever met Joe Ladd you'll know
                                                                                  what we are talking about. Joe told Darrell "We do not have a
                                                                                  copy of the song. If I had a copy I would be glad to give it air
                                                                                  play". Dick Whitehouse with Curb Records sent me a promo
                                                                                  CD. I went to the radio station and put it in Joe's hand. Still no
                                                                                  air play.

                                                                                   Dale made a video for "One Tear at a Time". The video
                                                                                   received substantial play time on CMT.

                                                                                   Well we know you would like to hear more about Dale Watson,
                                                                                   however this page is about Ampro. You can visit Dale at his
                                                                                   WebSite: www.dalewatson.com

                                                                                 The name Ampro comes from Dale himself. We are not sure
                                                                                   where Dale came up with Ampro. The team at DWFC knew
                                                                                   that we should have a Company name that would allow us to
                                                                                   get into other fields. We owe Dale a world of thanks for giving
                                                                                   us the chance to do what we do best, Promote.

                                                                                    Anyway, we found the name "Ampro" on a record Dale
                                                                                    recorded  at Sound Masters in Houston, Yes Dale recorded
                                                                                    with A.V. Mittelstedt. The record was (Dales gonna kill me)
                                                                                    "Is There Something Wrong" and "Marie Laveau"

                                                                                     We never ask Dale if it was ok to use the name so we added
                                                                                    "Productions". Therefore giving us,

                                                                                      We were worried that Dale might not like the name, but he
                                                                                      sent me a E-Mail saying, "I think its cool that you are
                                                                                      keeping the Ampro thing a live". Well let it be known
                                                                                      Ampro will always do what we can to keep the real
                                                                                      Country Music alive.

                                                                                      As for the Fan Club, we close it down in 1994, because
                                                                                      Dale felt that it was wrong to make someone pay to be on
                                                                                      his team. We love the fans, but from now on the fans will
                                                                                       be "The Friends"
