Chubbs is perhaps best known as the front-man for his band,
Chubbs
Ferguson & the Hound Harbor Tugboats. The only seven- (Yes!
SEVEN!) time winner of the Southeast Olde-Tyme Music Association artist
of the year, he was also inducted last year in Mountain Music Hall of
Fame. His talent on the
dobro is so extreme, it has become commonplace
for other squirrels in the music scene to aspire to having "chops like
Chubbs". Unfortunately, since "the accident",
Chubbs
doesn't tour much anymore. He claims it is because of back pain, but
many say it's for the shame of it all. Last spring, after a sold-out
show in Wichita, his car was found in the morning wrapped around a
telephone pole along Route 15. When the police found him, he was
unconscious, and two nubile prairie dogs, half his age, were barely
clinging onto life in the back seat. The police report states he
suffered a mild heart attack, but most suspect the real cause was his penchant for
Zima.
