King of Country

Wayne Greenhaw

Bobby Lee Butler has the gift of country music. Given an old guitar, his fingers soon learn to summon forth the music, sweet and lonely. His voice shapes itself into spirituals, gospels, eventually to the blues and boogie tunes that are in his blood. Bobby Lee’s talent carries him from Montgomery (where he lands a singing job on a local radio station) to Nashville (where the Grand Ole Opry is just a stepping stone to a career on national radio, television, and stunning record sales). He is loved by women wherever they can find him, while his wife and children would love just to see him.
