It was a time when the name Ernie Ford was in the air and his fame worldwide.. In 'River of No Return' their son Jeffery remembers when his family's joy of being together was infectious, when the promise of every day and the thrill of being at the center of the spotlight was rapturous. For Ernie, it was beer for breakfast, Cutty for lunch at the club, and whatever later in the day. For Betty it was vodka, valium, and tranquilizers.

I can't help but know that he will help others who are suffer. A Wild Ride Girvan Paterson Reading Jeffrey Buckner Ford's biography of his Father and Mother is an eye opener, to say the least! Anyone who thinks the deep voiced crooner of such hits as 'Sixteen Tons' 'River of No Return' 'Shotgun Boogie' etc. had a charmed life is in for a big shock!What starts out as a great love story, soon turns to tragedy, as the lovely Betty Ford turns to drink as a means of 'coping' with her husband's rapid rise to fame, and world stardom. One thing that does come through though, is the unconditional love Ernie Ford had for this woman, when lesser men probab
