Lefty is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame today. In his time he was a remarkable singer with an original sound all his own. His legacy lives on to this day in the sounds of country music around the world.

Peace.

Happy Belated to Lefty. My dad is a huge fan. Do you know of a song that was written as an answer to the song Saginaw Michigan? My dad has been trying to remember what the title was or even if Lefty sang it.

Be well and thanks for your help.

treeman,

Lefty is a favorite in Possum Valley where I live and write. The answer song is running near the edges of my mind but I cannot come up with the singer. Maybe later. If I can retrieve the information I promise to let you know.

Tell your dad to keep the faith. Country music will live forever so long as we remember people like Lefty.

Peace, Jerry
