Country singer C.W. McCall dies at 93.


"It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth pullin' logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We is headin' for bear on I-one-oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town
I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
"And I'm about to put the hammer down."


It was the heyday of the CB Radio craze, when the deep voice of C.W. McCall opened the song "Convoy" on the radio with CB chatter. The song was the rage for a good period of time, and still serves the trucking community to this day. It was our Anthem, in many ways, an ode to a profession that many men and women serve today.


C.W. McCall was the alter-ego of Bill Fries, a man who also made safety training videos for trucking schools and the industry at large. He entered hospice a few weeks ago knowing the end was near. I know a number of drivers that entered the industry because of his contributions to it. Fair winds, Bill, and thanks for the memories.https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/cw-mccall-convoy-dead-obit-1302155/
