Has it ever happened to you that a song implanted itself in your inner ear, seemingly out of nowhere, and would stay with you for days?
Hank Snow's One More Ride has been with me off and on for several days now. Where did it come from? No source I'm aware of. It's unlikely that I heard it somewhere here in Italy. It certainly would not be played in any Roman store or elevator.
I remember recording this song on my reel-to-reel tape recorder from the country music hour at SWF 3 around 1973 and must have listened to it a lot back then. I loved country music at the time and hardly ever missed that radio show on Saturday afternoon.
The clickety-clack of Hank's railroad track has been calling me much too long. What to do? I have no button to switch it off.
