I Say Three…Tops!


A very interesting piece by the great Ivor Biggun.
He’s a British icon, king of the double entendres, and
a gentleman through and through.
Crafty with a lyric, and a pretty decent story teller.
He aspires to retire, in a well protected environment.
That just might work out.
I love to play this on the show…

Jim Gaffigan with a lighthearted look at the great outdoors.
By way of sleeping bags, grizzly bears and mosquitos.
Not in so many words, but I read between the lines…

This is a special song that I just played on the show.
Superstars galore in this one.
Shel Silverstein wrote it.
The principal singers are the late, greats Mel Tillis,
Jerry Reed, and Waylon Jennings with the still
active Bobby Bare.
Every last one of them is a bonafide star.
Jerry Reed is one of only a handful of Chet Atkins
Certified Guitar Players ever given that status.
He was also a decent actor and starred in a few flicks
back in the 1970’s.
Mel Tillis was a very successful singer songwriter for
many years, and one of the first “outlaw” C&W artists.
Waylon Jennings personified the “outlaw” image and
was quite a legend as well.
Bobby Bare was all that and more.
Shel even sings back-up!
The gang has thinned but their material lives on.
And that is as it should be…

Larry Weaver with my kind of parody.
I love this stuff, good sketch comedy is hard to come by.
That’s not my baby, that’s not my baby…

Nick Griffin with a dark look at ending a marriage.
Is there a lighthearted look at ending a marriage?
Not as such.
Some great lines here…
