Milwaukee & Fugitive song factoids


"MILWAUKEE WAS WRITTEN in 1968 ...and the first time I heard it on the radio was when Lynn and I were on our way back from Gatlingburg where we went on our honeymoon..............dad"


Here's a photograph of my dad getting ready for his wedding day!

I think Mom told me a set of pictures I have come across are their Honeymoon and they are in Hawai'i ?? I also have heard a tale of a honeymoon where they were in England? I'll have to get some clarification. Ah, the jet-setting lifestyle of being young, rich and famous!


"Another thing about the Session which was cut in Coumbia A studio....I went to the session and he also cut The Fugitive written by your grandmother on the same session..."

My Grandmother, Liz Anderson, wrote The Fugitive (BMI Work #895382) which was a Number 1 for Merle Haggard in the 60s.

I just checked iTunes and there's not a version of Jerry Lee's but there's a TON of Merle's version. I didn't realize Leo Kottke had cut Fugitive. That's pretty cool...
