Fame is fickle. Carson Robison was once one of the top Country Western stars, even into the 1950s, yet very few people know who he is today. In the song Hillbilly Heaven by Tex Ritter, Robison is one of the first three mentioned and in the same breath as Jimmie Rogers. He could wistle two tunes at once. No one else has figured out how he did it.
Posting may be light this week, I’m doing the other bathroom now.
