** TRIVIA: December 19 CD SHOWCASE **

CW McCall's biggest hit, his only #1 song, "Convoy", debuted on the country charts 11/29/75 and remained on the charts for 15 weeks ... holding the #1 spot 6 of those weeks. McCall's only other Top 10 hit was 1977's "Roses For Mama".

At the heart of "Convoy" is a drive a bunch of truckers take across the United States (west to east). While the song doesn't mention any particular city/town by name, certain cities along the way are distinctly referenced. Try naming them ... and Email your answers to me:
