As suggested by Prof P, I am William Orville “Lefty” **F** rizzell, singer of six #1 country songs including “If You’ve Got the Money (I’ve Got the Time)” and “Saginaw, Michigan”, as well as over a dozen other songs that placed in the top ten on the country charts. Prof, if you want the next game, go ahead and take it.
