with RW Crouch, somewhere in Texas

In recognition of the great Rand W. Crouch who wrote this here song and recorded it in 1975, on the album, "R.W. Crouch & the Bum Steers, If You Divorce Me Baby, Who'll Get the Truck? with the Closet Cosmic Cowboys".

He allowed me to play a very minor role in recording that album. Then on this day, 44-years ago I stepped on the NBC Burbank stage and performed his musical question on the nationally broadcast, The Gong Show, with the late Chuck Barris, Anson Williams, Patty Andrews and juicy Jaye P. Morgan.

It's a great memory that never leaves me and I give thanks to the Catfish, RW Crouch, for allowing me to share his tune with the world.

By the way, on that same exact day, about an hour before this show aired, Elvis died, but that's a whole 'nuther story.

I heard that Elvis died right after he watched this. If you say it was an hour before, I'll go with that.

And who'd thunk Stranger's leisure fishing shirt would still be in style 50 years later.

I saw this down at the woodway boys club taking a break from spades and maulball. We always watched the Gong Show.
