"The man who wrote this classic was Bill Trader and he actually passed away in 2003 in South Carolina. Not a bad run from the sound of it. Mark Matthews continues the story by bringing in an old musician friend of Bill’s named Bud Orr. As Bud tells it, Bill couldn’t read or write music and would often bring him songs and for five bucks Bud would write out a lead sheet for him. Bill would then sell try to sell them in Nashville."
