Mike sings Wolverton Mountain for Clifton Clowers Part 1

Mike performs for Clifton Clowers on his 101st birthday in 1992. Wolverton Mountain is about a real place where Clifton lived. He died & was buried on Wolverton Mountain in 1994. His nephew Merle Kilgore co-wrote the song with Claude King who sang it. Mike performs that song on Clifton's front porch. This is part 1. We had to have a part 2 because we can't upload videos more than 10min long. Tune in tomorrow for Part 2 on the RattlerMan's Channel. Dedicated in Memory of my father Don Redmond.

Is this just PR? Clifton Flowers was a Federal Judge working in Denver when this was written. His daughter was going to CU/Boulder at the time. There is a Wolverton Mountain outside of Boulder, CO. When he was asked about the song, he said his daughter had associated with quite a few college students about that time, he wasn't sure of their names. Which version is true?

@blade0302 This song is about Wolverton Mountain in Arkansas written by song writer Merle Kilgore who was Clifton Clowers nephew.

so what's the story on the daughter, who must be in her 80s now if she's still alive?

[RattlerMan33]

You are right I think she is getting close to 80 she is still doing alright.

This is one of the greatest videos I have ever seen. I have forgotten how slow and how good life should be. Life is simple when it is with fmaily.

Thank you for sharing.

I am a Clowers, and it is definitely neat to see this video that I have heard so much about most of my life. It puts faces to names for me. Musical background in our family is great.
