about the artist eighteen-year-old ronnie self is one of the youngest stars to share the spotlight on the popular touring "philip morris country music show," which also includes such country music veterans as carl smith, red sovine, goldie hill, and gordon terry. as one of the newest candidates for stardom, ronnie has already established a solid foothold towards a successtul career with his fast-moving columbia record of "ain't i'm a dog." it wasn't always thus. at the age of 7, ronnie made an attempt at songwriting. it didn't come off. eight years later, he auditioned for radio. the comment: "too weird." ronnie kept plugging and now, hundreds more rock n' roll fans every day are glad he did.
