| Rebecca Linda Smith and Robert Frank Smith
She was an officer in the United States Army, stationed with the 1st Cavalry Division at Ft. Hood when she met an attractive Army officer who had joined the military to treat returning Vietnam veterans. Love blossomed and they tied the knot in Raton. Who would have guessed that decades later after a career in teaching that she would segue into music with her first national release charting # 1 and that her psychologist husband would become her primary songwriter, subsequently receiving several nominations for Songwriter of the Year? But that’s what transpired with Rebecca Linda Smith and Robert Frank Smith will be our guests this Sunday on “Gotta Dance’ from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. MST at 101.1 FM and www.ksfr.org.
Rebecca Linda’s musician kernel was likely planted when, as a military brat, she sang in schools and churches all over Europe, when her lifer military father was stationed there on several occasions. Rebecca Linda isn’t content with just one genre of music, but has charted country/western, Christian and patriotic songs, with her husband penning most of the songs that she sings. Her music is played on radio stations around the world, from Australia to New Zealand and from Scandinavia to Austria. They have also formed their own record company Renewed Records. Tune in this Sunday as we have not only our first husband-wife veteran guests, but also our first husband-wife singer/songwriter duo and listen to a number of her popular songs, as well as catch a tune from her forthcoming album Hope, which is already generating a lot of buzz even before it has been released.
