...half a century, salmon fishing has been Alaska's biggest industry -and when the summer catch falls off, the whole state suffers. This year, the $50 million salmon harvest is the worst since 1899, and the result has been woe ful.

Backed by a 17-piece orchestra, he sang about humpback mules, lonesome hearts and them old cottonfields back home in a mellifluous baritone that poured out just as warm and creamy as milk fresh out of the barn cow. Mostly, the songs were samplings of his biggest hits-Anytime, Bouquet of Roses-flavored with a touch of falsetto and yodel-like loops...
