Misc Notes: "Singin' Sam" Little was one of the Northwest's contributors* to the 1970s 18 wheel trucker/ (civilian band radio) c. b.er music fad. The singer/songwriter/guitarist was a long haul trucker who had strong ties to Alaskan routes including The Dalton ("Kamikaze Trail" "Haul Road", "Ice Road", ) Highway. During the early to mid 1970s, this road supplied construction materials and other necessities to the Alyeska Trans-Alaska pipeline project.
Sam is noted, and the Lyrics to his song "Kamikaze Trail" are presented in the 2017 book "Historic Roads Of Alaska" (pg. 52). He is also quoted in Dermot Cole's book "Amazing Pipeline Stories" (pg. 41).
