IN THE NEWS This pup could be headed to the dog house. Transportation Security Administration officers say a woman's 7-year-old Chihuahua triggered an alert at New York's LaGuardia Airport. The owner had no idea that her little dog had crawled in while she was packing for a flight to Los Angeles. The woman's husband came to the airport and took the dog home. (forewarned is forearmed)
When we travel, we listen to Sirius radio "Easy Listening". Kind of insulates us from the "madness of the Freeways". Don't know if you do Easy Listening but if you do then you know they play a lot of "oldies" in instrumental arrangements. It's fun trying to guess who the "original" artist was that sang the song. This is always settled when we switch from navigation to radio. The screen lists the artist and the name of the song.
I can tell you that it has been a long time since I heard "Ferlin Husky's Gone" but there it was in a very nice instrumental arrangement. Amazingly, his name, and the name of the song came right to me. Joan is always shocked when that happens . . . "And you can't remember to pick up the peanut butter at Costco??? . . . Oh well . . . here's a real good guy and great singer from our high school years.

Ferlin Eugene Husky (December 3, 1925 – March 17, 2011)[1] was an earlyAmerican country music singer who was equally adept at genres of traditional honky-tonk, ballads, spoken recitations, and rockabilly pop tunes. He had two dozen Top 20 hits in the Billboard country charts between 1953 and 1975; his versatility and matinee-idol looks propelling a seven-decade entertainment career.[2]
In the 1950s and 60s, Husky's hits included "Gone" and "Wings of a Dove", each reaching No. 1 on the country charts. He also created a comic outspoken hayseed character, Simon Crum; and recorded under the stage name Terry Preston from 1948 to 1953.[2]
In 2010, Husky was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
