September 09: (From CW McCall: An
American Legend/Ed Floden, August 31)
Back
at the end of May, I received a message from Bill Fries.
(You may have heard of him; he lives in Ouray, Colorado, and is sort of
famous.) I had inquired about his health, as about three weeks before
that Bill was unexpectedly hospitalized for the implantation of a heart
pacemaker. (Don’t worry, folks, he’s doing fine.)
No
news is usually good news, right? I have agreed to narrate
Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait” with
the Great
Western Rocky Mountain Brass Band in Silverton late in August. That is,
if my pacer is still ticking. You may take this as news, if you like.
I’ll let you know the exact date. Maybe I’ll see
you then?
That would be nice.

November 15: HAPPY
BIRTHDAY 80TH! TO THE
RUBBER DUCK, C.W. McCall, Mr. Bill Fries
September 02: R.I.P:
Jerry Reed (A
great country singer, great respect for his music from Smokey and the
Bandit soundtracks.) I think if C.W. McCall's music had been used as
much as Jerry Reed's was used, Convoy would have had far equal success
in 1978.
