Song is true to life. Stringbean (David Akeman) couldn't read or write. He and his wife lived in a modest cabin near Goodlettsville, Tennessee. They did have a Cadillac (and a color TV). Stringbean, who was young during the Depression, didn't trust banks. He and his wife were murdered in 1973 by two burglars hoping to find cash stashed away in his home.
