172

Are you Tennessee Ernie Ford?

173

I am not.

174

Well, I’ve got nothing.

175

Hmm. A singer of folk, opera, classical, world music…?

176

or Country & Western.

177

With a backing band? I’d expect pop, rock, or country.

178

Or big-band era, given age of death. Hmmm…

179

I’ve already guessed, but it might be a guy whose first name was Lefty.

180

As suggested by Prof P, I am William Orville “Lefty” Frizzell, 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.
