“Mr. Bojangles” by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Midday Music Day 32.  Mr. Bojangles by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

I’ve always loved this song.  There’s a happy – sadness to it.  The line that always gets me is…

“He spoke through tears of 15 years, how his dog and him traveled about.
The dog up and died.  He upped and died.  After 20 years he still grieves.”

This song reminds me of the end of elementary school and the start of junior high, my paper route and of course fun times.
