K. T. Oslin

Kay Toinette "K. T." Oslin (born May 15, 1942) is an American country music singer and songwriter. She is known for a series of top-ten country hits during the late 1980s and early 1990s, four of which topped the American Country chart.

Early life

Kay Toinette Oslin was born in Crossett, Arkansas. Her father, a foreman at a paper mill, died when she was five years old. After his death, Oslin and her mother moved to Houston, Texas. Oslin attended Lon Morris College, where she majored in drama. She also performed in a folk trio that included Guy Clark and David Jones, which recorded an album that was never released.

Oslin later moved to New York City, where in the 1970s, she appeared in productions of West Side Story, Promises, Promises, and Hello Dolly! She also sang commercial jingles around New York and began writing songs.

Musical career

Early 1980s

By 1981, she had signed to Elektra Records and released two singles as Kay T. Oslin: "Clean Your Own Tables" and "Younger Men (Are Startin' to Catch My Eye)". The former made number 72 on the Hot Country Songs charts, while the latter did not chart. Despite the poor performance of these singles, Oslin had songs recorded by Gail Davies, The Judds, and Dottie West. After a showcase performance in Nashville, Tennessee, she was spotted by producer Harold Shedd, best known for his work with Alabama. Shedd helped Oslin, now using K. T. Oslin as her stage name, sign with RCA Records in 1987.

Knob-and-tube wiring

Knob-and-tube wiring (sometimes abbreviated K&T) was an early standardized method of electrical wiring in buildings, in common use in North America from about 1880 to the 1930s. It consisted of single-insulated copper conductors run within wall or ceiling cavities, passing through joist and stud drill-holes via protective porcelain insulating tubes, and supported along their length on nailed-down porcelain knob insulators. Where conductors entered a wiring device such as a lamp or switch, or were pulled into a wall, they were protected by flexible cloth insulating sleeving called loom. The first insulation was asphalt-saturated cotton cloth, then rubber became common. Wire splices in such installations were twisted together for good mechanical strength, then soldered and wrapped with rubber insulating tape and friction tape (asphalt saturated cloth), or made inside metal junction boxes.

Knob and tube wiring was eventually displaced from interior wiring systems because of the high cost of installation compared with use of power cables, which combined both power conductors of a circuit in one run (and which later included grounding conductors).
