APRIL 1
C.W. McCall, 93, dies. Famed for his song "Convoy.
Died April 1, 2022.
Known for his novelty song in 1975 that went to #1 on both the country and pop charts and helped ignite the CB radio craze. Now the CBs weren't just for truckers.
It inspired a movie by the same name starring Kris Kristofferson.
I really liked the song, but never got a CB radio. I did enjoy its use in "Smokey & the Bandit."

APRIL 3
Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri, has been designated a National Register Historic Place. Roamin' Rich and the rest of the Missouri Route 66 crew has sure done a great job on it.
It is located at 1246 South Service Road (66).
It is especially neat with all the giraffe stone on it. To m e, that's real Ozark Plateau architecture.
