Rollin' on the River: BMI Salutes Writers of George Strait's "River of Love"

[Street_Dreamer]

Since Strait seldom attends such functions -- including this one -- the objects of adulation were the song's three writers, Billy Burnette, Shawn Camp and Dennis Morgan. BMI, the writers' performance rights organization, sponsored the event.

In addition to writing "River of Love," Burnette, Camp and Morgan also sang on Strait's recording of the song and backed him when he performed it on last year's CMA Awards show.

Receiving the BMI award....





Also a neat video of Shawn Camp talking about writing the song at Billy's house -- (Billy used the ukelele Mick Fleetwood had given him )
