: Steve,
: That is correct as it hit #1 on the
: Billboard Country Singles Chart 9 May 1953
: and the actual recording is still in
: print/available on the Jim Reeves Live at
: the Opry CD put out by the CMA and licensed
: to others and also released a few other
: times, mainly by foreign labels. Our radio
: friend Bucks Braun played it on the I's have
: it on the 23rd of May last year. I've been
: so busy at work I didn't have time to tell
: him about it again this year. Chubby Howard
: played anoter cut from the CD today, the In
: A Mansion Stands My Love cut. Also last
: week Distant Drums hit #1 on Wednesday only
: 42 years ago - 21 May 1966. My how time
: flies! Also Bucks featured 1966 on his What
: A Year! on the Thursday 22 May daily portion
: of his show between 11 AM and Noon and
: Distant Drums and Blue Side of Lonesome were
: both in his top 10 for the year.
