Thanks, Drumbo, for spinning tunes for the troops. ((HUGS))

Ballad of Davy Crockett...when I was a kid we had these little yellow records of Disney Tunes. They were 78s, but the diameter of 45s. I think Mike Fink was on the other side of Davy Crockett.

I remember Lady and The Tramp and We Are Siamese.

Disney put out several versions of "The Ballad of Davey Crockett", including the Little Golden Record by The Sandpippers, one by Fess Parker, the TV show's star on their Buena Vista label and others by Dick James (from the motion picture, "King of the Wild Frontier") and Bill Hayes (The television theme). The Tennessee Ernie Ford version featuring Glen Campbell on guitar was originally credited to "The Wellingtons" on Disneyland Records, but there was no mistaking the ol' Pea Picker and Capitol Records soon "capitalized" on the phenomena. When I was nine, I owned several of the records, a Davey Crockett guitar, coon skin cap and a toy Kentucky long rifle. Kids these days (including my own) can't tell you who Davey Crockett or Daniel Boone was - it's all a steady diet of Spiderman, ninja turtles and Pokémon.
