Could be a conga-voy!

been a minute since I’ve heard that tune

I remember hearing that for the first time as a teen. Had to go out and immediately buy a CB radio.

Roger that good buddy.

Who remembers this

♫♪

Barrelin’ down the highway

Wheelin’ right along

Hear the tires hummin’

Hummin’ out a song

The rumble of the diesel

The shiftin’ of the gears

The rhythm when he’s rollin’

It’s music to his ears

Cannonba-a-a-ll! Cannonba-a-a-ll!

♪♫

remember when Greg Evigan gave bears BJs?

I prefer East Bound and Down myself.

Only if Stan was in line….where is he, anyway?

Sheepy is leading the convoy.

“Pigpen, this is Rubber Duck, and we’re about to put the hammer down!”

For folks who weren’t around back then, this is a tribute to C. W. McCall [real name William Dale Fries Jr.] who recorded the novelty song “Convoy” that was a surprise hit in 1976, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was also a pop culture milestone in kickstarting the CB [Citizens Band] radio craze which swept the country and had a large part of the American population saying “What’s your twenty?”. He sadly passed away last year at the age of 95.

I have surfed the web. I have flipped through countless messages and images. Too much is mindless foolishness. But the thing I appreciate the most is… reference. To give credit to the original artist.

Thank you Ralph Hagen!
