Something in the water

By Steven Dale Jones

Maybe there’s something in the water in Hamilton, Alabama.
Maybe it’s the Buttahatchee River? Although as rivers go, parts of it can be pretty dang dry. If you plan on floating down it, you might want to take your walking shoes, unless there’s been a recent rain.  Don’t ask me how I know.   
Over the years there have been five songwriters from Hamilton who have written #1 Billboard Hit Songs. Wait, what are the chances of that? Yes, there may be more #1 songwriters from Hamilton than there are working red lights.
