I haven't been up that way for several years. Hope he keeps hauling those chickens and he keeps those friends of Jesus and their micro bus safe and sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His obituary mentioned that his co-writer founded Mannheim Steamroller, whose music was always played during the Holiday Season (Christmas, for those of you in Rio Linda), by Rush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open 3 meals a day 7 days a week. Usually about 10 of us there for coffee and breakfast every morning 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Seen other albums of his when I was there to purchase Gene Tracy's, or Richard Pryor's, or Red Foxx's albums, but never really ever listened to anything other than "Convoy". I know that one was big and received a lot of airplay in 1976. A lot of my chum's did listen to his albums, and many have several. Glad to see him garner the positive remembrance as he made a lot of people happy with his music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago we went through Wolf Creek Pass on our way to Sedona AZ, I made my kids listen to it then too. Great memories. Although that version sounds different than the album I have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
