Cal Smith
I was just looking through some research material, and noticed that Cal Smith only had three number one hits. They are "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking", "Country Bumpkin", and "It's Time to Pay the Fiddler". Three classic songs in addition to a lot of other hits he had including "Drinking Champagne", "I Just Came Home to Count the Memories", and "She Talked A Lot About Texas".
Cal Smith worked as a truck driver and a bronc buster, and he toured as one of the Texas Troubadours with Ernest Tubb until 1969.
What a life!!
Sometimes we forget how truly great our radio heroes really were, or are.
They sure don't make 'em like they used to!!!!
