Singer songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker just passed away. He is best known for writing one of my favorite songs--Mr. Bojangles,which became a top 10 hit in 1971 when it was recorded by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. RIP. Jerry Jeff. Tom

May he rest in peace. He sang at Gruene Hall every year until now. Texas will miss him.

Yes,Bill Robinson was--Mr. Bojangles. Robinson was known as Bojangles, but, the song, according to Wikepedia: The song "Mr. Bojangles" Jerry Jeff Walker's 1968 folk song "Mr. Bojangles" has been misinterpreted as a song about Robinson. According to Walker, it was instead inspired by Walker's encounter with a street performer in the New Orleans first precinct jail, a street performer who called himself "Bo Jangles".[38] In the song, the street performer is a heavy drinker and has a dog that died. By Robinson's own account and those of his friends, he neither smoked nor drank (although he was a frequent and avid gambler),[10]:p. 121 and he never had a dog.

If I could just get off of that LA freeway without getting killed or caught.
