Spade had a hankering for music, but nearly all of his non-school hours were spent in farming, so he had little time to fiddle with his fiddle. One afternoon, while he paused from his plowing to roll a cigarette, the mule (her name was Tizzie) kicked him in the face. When Spade awoke in the hospital, he decided there must be an easier way of making a living. So, he got a job as a fiddler in a small cate 1n Modesto, California and took to smoking tailor made cigarettes. Then came a long spell of playing with various bands, even a short session where he was cowboy Roy Rogers’ stand-in and played with the Sons of the Pioneers, before he formed a band of his own. The rest is history, for in just a few years he built the Cooley group into the top western band in the country and lifted hill-billy music from the country barn dance enjoyed by just a few to its present stature of being an important segment of American music.
