Subject: RE: Obit: Country Singer Doc Williams (1914-2011)
Thanks Adrien! When I was 16 my Christmas present from my parents was a transistor radio. Although we were rather poor it was the first one that any of my friends had. Late at night I would listen to CFNB in Fredericton, which played country music all night long, and I would switch to WWVA when the signal was strong enough. At times I would fall asleep with the earphone still in place and I would wake my parents singing Sink The Bismark along with Johnny Horton or The Cat Came Back with Doc Williams in my sleep. Oh, but to live those days again! Of course I would have to catch up on my sleep at school. No wonder that I'm such a fool! :-}
