Dieser Alvie Self aus Cottonfield, Arizona, macht die größten Schwierigkeiten bei der Diskographie, da vergißt man sogar seine nicht vorhandene Biographie. Aber Einiges konnte ich doch zusammentragen und sogar mit halbwegs richtigen Daten versehen. Die mir zur Zeit unbekannten Daten habe ich nicht durch erfundene Zahlen, wie im Netz, sondern durch ein Fragezeichen gekennzeichnet.

Alvin Edward 'Alvie' Self

“Let’s Go Wild” b/w “Nancy,” released in 1960 on Bennett’s Don Ray label, received airplay nationwide. Copies of the single were distributed as far as Buffalo, New York. Dick Clark even played “Nancy” on American Bandstand. Energized by the momentum, Self moved to Phoenix around 1965 and stuck around into the early 70s, operating road graders and dump trucks by day and performing in the area on weekends. “I toured a little bit, but I couldn’t get it over the hill,” he said. After moving to Hollywood and recording a few country singles for Accent Records in the mid-70s, Self returned to the Verde Valley where he lives today. At age 80, he continues to perform for tourists at the M Diamond Ranch in Sedona. “I’ve gotten to play for people from all over the world since I’ve been out there,” he said. “It’s been a real blessing and great opportunity.”
