My aunt and uncle had this album. My parents wouldn’t let me listen to it because of its title. When we’d go over to their house, my cousins (who weren’t supposed to listen to it either) and we would try to listen to this record on as low of volume ad we possibly could. Did no good, because we’d laugh so loud and so hard we never got away with it!

I am a Retired Policeman. In the late 70's I was partnered with a Old Timer Officer. I did think "Ray O Stout" and I would make much of a team. One cold snowy night I had to walk a foot beat for 4 hours, I got into the Police car with Ray Stout and he was listening to WSB radio out of Atlanta on the AM dial, signal would fade out for a second and crackling, but was able to listen. Ray Stout looked at me and said You look Cold Kid, You just sit back, drink some coffee and I'll take care of you tonight. Next thing I remembered Charlie Douglas came on the radio, saluting all the truckers all over the South. After about 15 minutes of this salute, Mr. Douglas started telling the story of "Damn it Ray". I laughed so hard, I shot coffee out of my nose while on patrol with Officer Ray O. Stout. Ray was a great guy and taught me some important lessons. Some day after I pass onto the next life, I hope to meet up with Ray O. Stout again and share a couple more shifts. I am saluting Ray O. Stout with another cup of coffee, I'll try and keep this One in my mouth. RIP Ray O. Stout. Signed: A Grateful Partner.

I began driving over-the-road in 1974, after I left the Air Force. I can not count the number of nights that I rode "with Charlie" in the truck, making the long overnight drives a little more bearable. Thank you Charlie, for all the times you made me laugh.

Traveling when I was very young ( 45 years ago) me and my sister would lay in the back seat listening to WWL, WSM while my dad drove to his boyhood home in western NC I would laugh at listening to Charlie Douglas, Jerry Clower on the radio. Still today I laugh, I know the punchline of so many of those jokes and stories. Its sad that the kids of today not know of them, do not want to know of them.

My dad was a truck driver for almost 30 years, and I remember as a kid he bought this tape an we listened to it every weekend he came home until the tape wore out.. I loved this collection very fond memories ! The Bugle and the Mule always was a funny one too, But Dammit Ray is the best of all.

Thank you for posting this. When I was a kid in the mid-'70's I would lay awake at night in my dark bedroom and listen to the Road Gang until the wee hours. Listening to his stories, the songs? (many of which I've never heard since), messages to coded drivers (what a great thing that must have been in the days before cell phones), and the announcements of "King Edward Cigar time." To me, it was magical and it inspired a fascination with radio that persists to this day, 35 years later.

I'm teary eyed, but laughing at the same time! I used to sit shotgun in my dad's Kenworth, listening to the "big one" 700 wlw, and the truckin Bozo! Periodically he would play this, and some of Jerry Clower's best! Even at such a young age, I loved this stuff as much as dad did! Of course my all time favorite was Paul Harvey!! It is amazing how a song or story can transport you instantly back in time quicker than a time machine! It's a powerful thing!! Thanks so much for posting that! Now you know the rest of the story. He was Paul Harvey..."Good Day" Come on...you all knew I was gonna say it!

I first herd this story by Charlie Douglas in 1983 when I was stationed on Guam with the USAF. Was listening to C and W night on the local radio and they played the story of Dammit Ray and the talking outhouse. Im from Jesup Ga mentioned in this story and am very familiar with all the places mentioned in this story. It really provoked some real memories of home and really surprised me to know I would travel half way around the world before hearing about this great guy. Harry Bennett Jesup Ga
