This article claims the song came at the peak of the CB fad, while the Convoy (song) article claims it started the fad. Anyone know which is true? -R. fiend 06:10, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Peak of, or nearly so. The beginning of the CB craze was earlier, roughly 1967-68 with the general availability of inexpensive imported solid-state CB equipment. Lowellt 23:31, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

The CB craze was in the late 1970s. I am not sure, really, if "Convoy" came at the peak of it. It certainly escalated it, but then, "The White Knight" by Cledus Maggard might have, also. One thing's for sure: "Convoy" and "The White Night" gave the craze a lot of publicity, and thus may have increased the craze. Duprees62 02:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wolf Creek Pass

This article would make one think that "Wolf Creek Pass" was the follow-up song to "Convoy." It wasn't. "Wolf Creek Pass" was the follow-up to McCall's first hit, "The Old Home Filler Up an' Keep On Truckin' Cafe'", and it was very successful on the country charts. The follow-up to "Convoy" was "There Won't Be No Country Music (There Won't Be No Rock N' Roll)." Duprees62 02:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mayoral terms

Please see Talk:Ouray,_Colorado#C._W._McCall_(Bill_Fries)_as_mayor for an explanation of why I changed the three terms reference to six years. OlenWhitaker • ^{talk to me} or _don't • ♣ ♥ ♠ ♦ 18:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC) 18:21, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
