In many good ways my Father had a childlike heart. He was a really good man. And he sure liked Davy Crockett! :)

I enjoyed all the old Walter Brennan Western's.
He had a special way of talking.

High Line Rider, I know I have seen Walter Brennan on some shows, and he did have a distinctive voice. You know, when you think about it, distinctive voices could help make or break an actor, I'm sure. Loren Greene's voice sure helped his career, from what I've read. I think Canada called him The Voice of Canada. And then think of Jimmy Stewart and many others.

(according to my Mom, who got fed up with it), as a 7 eyar old got so skilled at returning the needle on the little record player he had back to the beginning of the Davy Crocket song he didn't even turn to look at it. He could go on playing with one hand and reach back with the other and lift the needle to the beginning.

"Davy....Davy Crockett! King of the Wild Frontier!"

Over and over and over again.

That sure brings back memories of Paul, my Father. "Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three", I can just hear Paul singing it. :) Did Davy really become a Congressman?
I kinda like both songs, Davy and Robin Hood. Guess I'm a child at heart, too. :)

Was the one I played over and over again when I learned how to manipulate the record player win the same way.


Poor Mom.
