Clyde was a section foreman for the Santa Fe Railroad. He was also an exceptional fiddle player. Back in the territory days of Oklahoma, people from all around would bring their families and their instruments and set up camp in the Burright yard. Around dusk they would play and dance for hours and the next day make their way back home.
