In 1950, Lefty performed in Texas, and the jukebox operator saw Lefty perform. He wants Jim Beck to be at the studio cutting some songs. The first one, "I Love You A Thousand Ways" in which Jim said "no ballads," but the second song, "If You've Got the Money (I've Got the Time)" was good, as Jim said, "that's it." Don Law, who saw Lefty in concert, told Lefty to sign the Columbia records, and it did. Both songs went to #1, and Jack Starnes became his manager. At the Frizzell household, Lefty had a last sibling, Allen. Lefty told his mother AD that he and Lois are expecting again. Three days after Christmas, son Rickey was born.

Meanwhile, Marty had his Arizona TV show, and Jimmy Dickens arrived and he got a deal with Columbia records, same as Lefty. He and Marizona had a fight, and never left. Marty strums guitar for singing "I'll Go On Alone," and the song went to #1.

Later on, Lefty had a bad dream while in California, Alice and the kids were upset.
