Subject: RE: Help: Did Jimmie Davis really write SUNSHINE?
One of the things that I'm quite sorry about was that the Montreal radio stations were pretty bland. I probably could have gotten some old time country if I'd thought about it, but I never tried spinning the dial. I DO remember listening to a "sort of" Country program that had "I Ride an old Paint" as it's theme song. The song was haunting (wonder who sang it). Remember as a kid thinking the line "One went to college, the other went wrong" was brilliant. Still do.

I did hear Hank Snow. What a singer, what a guitarist.....and after I saw the recent documentary on him....what a prick! But a talented one!
