EBO WALKER
Now Ebo Walker was born in Kentucky,
and raised by his daddy on a hillside farm,
He took up fiddle playing just for fun,
that’s the last work that Ebo Walker done.
Well Ebo Walker, he left Kentucky
’cause Ebo’s daddy said durn your hide,
You won’t plant corn, and you won’t make hay,
you sit on the porch and play that thing all day.
Well Ebo Walker, he walked and he fiddled and he walked and he fiddled and he fiddled till he died,
But I’ve heard tell when the winds is down and the moon shines bright, and the leaves are brown,
You can hear old Ebo fiddlin’ all around.
Some of the greatest scenes on The Andy Griffith show included “The Darling Boys.” They were a genuine bluegrass band from the Missouri Ozarks, known as The Dillards. During the bluegrass revival of the 1960s, they decided to move to where the recording studios were (Los Angeles) and set up shop outside the studios where they eventually got noticed.
Fun facts to know and tell, presented in the Classroom d’Retro of the College of Musical Knowledge, known locally as The Overnight Open Thread.

I love it. As of 6PM PST today, the Utoobage declares 2,786 likes, 280 dislikes, has about 1,500 comments, and it’s got a whopping 306K views.
The whole Big Brother concept of “Attack Watch” is so ill-conceived and smarmy, especially considering that it duplicates much of what the msm and the leftist blogs are doing already.
The video went viral within 24 hours of posting 2 days ago and a lotta sites have linked it. We ought not shirk our responsibility to assist in it’s distribution, so it’s presented here for all who may have missed it, on The Overnight Open Thread.

From email:
If you don’t do anything else the rest of the day, do yourself a favor now and just watch/listen to this video. Read the stuff first so you can tell what’s going on….. It’s awesome!
This song and its title was the answer to one question of Final Jeopardy — only one person got it right. Question was (paraphrased): “What 1980’s song do history teachers praise for its educational value?”
I never could understand all the references on Billy Joel’s song — fortunately, with this VIDEO, given the pictures, now I can “see” what my “ears” couldn’t.
Apparently, it’s Joel’s homage to the 40-years of historical headlines since his birth (1949). Wish I could have appreciated the depths of this song when it was released. Twenty years later, I’m in awe of what Joel was able to put into music and lyrics lasting only a few minutes.
Whether you are a Billy Joel fan or not, you probably remember his song, ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire.’ Here it is, set to pictures… Very cool. Had to share this one. It’s a neat flashback through the past half century. I never did know the words. Turn up the volume, sit back and enjoy a review of 50 years of history in less than 3 minutes!
Thanks to Billy Joel and some guy from the University of Chicago with a lot of spare time and Google.
Top left gives you full screen….top right lets you pause. Bottom left shows the year. The older you are, the more pictures you will recognize.
Anyone over age 60 should remember over 90% of what they see. But it’s great at any age.
Here’s the link. Please pass it along!
