...Jimmy Dean - sausage in a tube! Oh, my, yes ... <br /><br />I remember the Mr. Bojangles Jerry Jeff story ... David Bromberg had a sort of FM hit with the tune and used to tell the story all the time. <br /><br />Speaking of dropping out, Bromberg dropped out <a href="http://www.allthingsstrings.com/layout/set/print/News/Interviews-Profiles/Musician-David-Bromberg-s-Amazing-Selection-of-Domestic-Fiddles" rel="nofollow">to make violins</a> for 20 years, down your way I believe (Wilmington), Ed. He's back now and as good as ever, still keeping a hand in the violin making.<br /><br />Here are Jerry Jeff and David <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQhBMy-CbBg" rel="nofollow">playing it together</a>.Issa's Untidy Huthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352841590717991698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-77452238667689155962013-07-21T17:27:15.838-04:002013-07-21T17:27:15.838-04:00Hi Don:

There were probably others but these are the five I always recall. A lot of folks must have read Burroughs back in the day, long before I grew up and got around to it.<br /><br />Best Regards -<br /><br />JefferyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-59148071639589311112013-07-21T15:03:12.731-04:002013-07-21T15:03:12.731-04:00thanks for picking up on Jimmy Dean...
