Archives: Singing the Blues

From my Huckleberries column archives (25 years ago):

“Country singer Mel McDaniel and his Nashville band enjoyed their visit to State Line and the fishing trip afterward on Spirit Lake. But their host should have told them they needed a license to fish in the great state of Idaho. McDaniel and crew — David Duncan, Mark Dever, Herman Gossien, Forrest Hatten and Jordan Jeffrey — were all busted May 5 (1992) for fishing without a license.” (2006 photo of Mel McDaniels from Sisterphotography via Wikipedia)
