RIP CW McCall, 93, creator of 70s classic "Convoy"


Recommended Posts

I could see the bridge was lined with bears

But I didn't have a dog-goned dime

I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck

"We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll"

So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight

I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4"

Warms my libertarian heart.

I remember watching the movie when I was younger and loving it! Plus I have the song in my Apple Music.

 

He will be missed :rose:

I'm sorry, to hear, see, and read this. I remember the movie "Convoy", and the song. They both are good, and classics. He will be missed, and remembered. My condolences, and sympathies to his family, and friends. R.I.P., William (C.W.) Edited by Derek19

...and I'm about to put the hammer down...

RIP, CW. My best friend's little brother had the 45 and played the song until he had it memorized, (or seared into our brains on my part!) It was very clever, though. Always liked the "eleven long-haired Friends of Jesus

In a chartreuse micra-bus" :)
