Sure, Billy Carter was a bit of a raffish lout and a perpetual embarrassment to his brother, President Jimmy Carter, but he sure did liven up the joint.
By the way, is there a chance in a billion we'll ever elect another president named "Jimmy"?
Who knows. But here's a few tunes devoted to Billy and the wretchedly lame beer that he endorsed.

There are a couple of times in Keith Reedy's Billy song where he slacks off a little on clearly singing the word "peanuts"... hilarity ensues and "big brother" gets an unexpected present...

I always loved this song. My Dad (Bill Akers) played the steel guitar on this record. He was very proud of this and I am so proud of him.

Hey, Ruth, that's great to know about your dad's being the steel player on that record. There are 3 45s in the post, though, which of them did he play on? Regardless, glad you enjoyed hearing it.

@Listener Greg G.
I would guess that it is the Keith Reedy song as it is written by Reedy and a "B. Akers".

Makes sense....how'd I overlook that? Thanks.
