    Hank Snow sold over 100 albums and 700 copies. His songs were about trains and travelling rather than cheating and lying. What was his nickname?

    Hank Snow - Yodelling Ranger

    "The yodelling ranger" Hank Snow later changed his moniker to "the singing ranger" when his flexible tenor slipped to a baritone, but on these early recordings he still had quite a yodel.

    I think the "700 copies" is a typo or something. I believe this is probably what was meant:

    Hank Snow sold over 70 million records in his career that spanned 78's, 45's, extended 45's, LP's, 8-tracks, cassettes and compact discs.

    From the same site:
    "The man known as Hank, the singing Ranger, made his way down South and had his first appearance at WWVA Jamboree in 1945. Here he acquired his trained horse Shawnee, whose tricks and daredevil stunts with Hank endeared them to audiences."

    Somebody tells me they saw on TV how trains are lowered into the London Underground system. Is this true and if so, why would trains be lowered when it is surely easier to have trains drive down into the network on sloping rails? And at which places does this lowering take place?
