I'm surprised you didn't know that. He was behind CW McCall (or whatever), which started as an ad campaign. He then went on to create spacy Christmas music for New Age truckers.
Hey, that's Shockwave's 28th Anniversary show! I can't feature you, but you can be a guest. (Hmm... maybe I'll reserve some Production Studio time and pre-record an interview... is before or after the broadcast better?)
I have not known this fact for a whole lot longer than you have, but I'm feeling quite smug about the fact that I did know something about music that you didn't, even for a short period of time. I have known this since not too long after the Mannheim Steamroller album with the "Convoy" remake came out.

I used to live in Lincoln, NE when the Old Home Fill 'Er Up And Keep On Truckin' Cafe ads for Old Home bread were on TV.

I have the vinyl version of "Wolf Creek Pass", which is not on CD anywhere that I know of.
