Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 He passed on April Fools Day. I always remember his song about hauling a load of cluckers when driving through Wolf Creek Pass on US160. He brought welcome humor to the C&W genre. (Moderator: this thread belongs in the Saloon.)

Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 C.W. McCall - The Silverton Train I rode this one when out West. It was fun. I had an 8-track with his greatest hits I played a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 A lot of great entertaining stories in his music. I believe he retired from music and went on to be mayor of Ourey, Colorado for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Mosby Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I too drove Wolf Creek Pass once in my brief stint as an OTR trucker. Went through there in September, weather and scenery were fantastic. I also had a couple of C.W.'s CDs that I about wore out. Rest in Peace Sir, really enjoyed your music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessey Hightower Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I can still picture that album on my record player as a kid. I can't see an underpass height sign on the highway without thinking about clearance to the twelve foot line but them chickens was stacked to thirteen nine!

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 The fire captain who mentored me (still miss you, Hoss!) once laughted about the time he was running a pumper with hydraulic brakes ... he came down on the brake pedal and he quoted ol' CW, with a laugh, "Felt like I was steppin' on a plum!" (He manged to steer the pumper into an empty playground and got it stopped, with the help of a gentle grade and much profanity ... the Captain riding beside him was the color of a sheet of paper, but the man was game and bought beer when shift was over!)

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Sad news. I could write a dissertation of my memories of life that happened while listening to his music, but I won't bore you. Just one little one. Been many a time I turned on Aurora Borealis and wondered at the night sky. Thanks for the music Duck. Look forward to meeting you on the other side.
