Country/Western Trivia (Teddy the Dog edition)

Well, not really any trivia questions. Too damned tired from doing the Sainted Bride's bidding on that damned garden project in the backyard, which required roto-tilling, several hundred pounds of compost, and several hundred pounds of stone for a garden path.

Seriously, I thought about doing a trivia quiz but it ain't happenin'. So I thought I'd embed this vid of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's signature tune, which includes the part up front that lots of folks haven't heard of Uncle Charlie and his dog Teddy. Listen to the whole thing. To this day, since I acquired the album and heard Uncle Charlie, I can't listen to "Mr. Bojangles" in any way, shape, or form, without hearing Uncle Charlie and Teddy:



UPDATE: Damn. Did I ever mention how much I love Sammy Davis, Jr.? I've heard lots of his stuff but I never heard him singing "Mr. Bojangles". Well here he is doing so. RIP Sammy, we'll always love you.
