CLAUDE KING, 90
(1923-March 7, 2013) Original member of the Louisiana Hayride. Had many hit country songs in the 1960s, but his biggest was 1962's "Wolverton Mountain" about an Arkansas man named Clifton Clowers who took guarding his daughter against suitors seriously.
Served in the U.S. Navy during World War II from 1942-1946.
Other big hits were "Tiger Woman" and "All for the Love of a Girl.
Right now I'm listening to "Miller's Cave" by Bobby Bare on WBRF FM out of Galax, Virginia. At first I thought it was Claude King singing as it reminds me a lot of "Wolverton Mountain."

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
