Early years
Boone was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and enrolled at North Carolina State College as a mathematics major. He began performing as a folk singer at a bar and eventually dropped out of school to play guitar and sing. That decision led to 18 months of traveling around the United States, primarily by hitchhiking. He used his musical talents to barter, with his performances providing meals and sleeping quarters. He entered contests to win additional money.[2]
Career
Boone started his career in the 1962–1963 TV series It's a Man's World as Vern Hodges,[3] a talented guitarist from Boone's native North Carolina.[citation needed]
After playing guitar and singing in The Virginian and starring as a country singer in the 1966 film Country Boy, he played Francis Wilde in Western series Cimarron Strip along Stuart Whitman.
In popular culture
Hoyt Axton sings in "Della and the dealer": "...the guitar picker was a friend of mine, By the name of Randy Boone."[citation needed]
