Didn’t keep quite as busy as Chip Davis, the Convoy co-writer.

Yep.

Ole Chip turned his CB handle in for international fame of the Steamroller kind, and I've a stack of CDs plus even some cassettes of his that I never tire of hearing, especially at Christmas!

A bit of trivia about Chip: when he graduated college, he said there were 2 things he never wanted to do...live in the Midwest, and write country songs.

Well...we know that ‘Convoy’ made the top of the country charts. The success of ‘Convoy’ allowed Chip to work on that other musical idea he had...which we now know as Mannheim Steamroller.

Oh, and as to where he lives....he has lived for many, many years...in Omaha, Nebraska. About as Midwest as you can get!
