Aztec man recalls recording legendary singer-songwriter Roy Orbison

AZTEC — As a teen in the early ’60s, Jake Hottell cast a wish that he would one day meet legendary singer-songwriter Roy Orbison.

A little more than a decade later, he met The Big O.

Hottell, 67, served in Korea as an Army electronics engineer and recorded Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis in Nashville, Tenn. Now he runs his own recording label and publishing company in Aztec. When he is not busy promoting healthy eating at area schools, he plays duets on the guitar with his wife.
