When Marquita Call, co-owner of Ballard & Call in Camas, answered her phone and heard the man on the other end identify himself as Jimmie Rodgers, she was beside herself with excitement.
“No! Get out of town! Are you for real?” she said to him. “I just can’t believe this is happening.”
Rodgers is one of Call’s favorite musicians and, in her view, “Camas royalty.”
Camas-born Rodgers is a successful singer, songwriter and author and rose to fame in the 1950s with his hit single “Honeycomb,” which stayed at Number 1 on the charts for 7 weeks.
