tabber87 ::: Favorites I have to say, David Bromberg's cover on Demon in Disguise is the best version of this song by far. 07-09-09 02:57:12 _____________________________________________________
SandmanHardcoreIcon ::: Favorites I remember the Jimmie Rodgers festival in Meridian, MS when I was a little kid in the late 70's, JJW came out and fell down he was so drunk, Willie Nelson picked him up, set him on the edge of the stage and sung Bojangles perfect never missing a lick, Amazing 07-08-31 16:44:43 _____________________________________________________
SandmanHardcoreIcon ::: Favorites Look man, Jerry Jeff was drunk when he met Mr Bojangles while they were both locked up in jail together in the 60's.. Don't let The tap dancer "Mr Bojangles Robinson get you confused with the guy JJW is talking about. This guy was in the south. It's a drunken country song and thats the way it should always be. JJW wrote the song an an hour in a half on a yellow note pad one night. Remakes suck period. 07-08-31 16:20:41 _____________________________________________________
Steelie2006 ::: Favorites but although i disagree with what you said about the country thing, i do think Sammy Davis Jr doesn't do the song justice. Ray Quinn does it well, as does Robbie Williams but Robbie is a little bit harsh for swing. 07-08-30 09:28:01 _____________________________________________________
Steelie2006 ::: Favorites no way man, Bojangles was and should always be a smooth Jazz standard. Some country rocks, but Jerry Jeff sounds like he's out of his tree drunk. But did Jerry Jeff actually meet Bojangles? Check out Ray Quinn- Mr Bojangles 07-08-30 09:26:41 _____________________________________________________
SandmanHardcoreIcon ::: Favorites Sammy Davis whines like a baby when he tries to sing Bojangles. Bojangles is a country song not that other crap. 07-08-23 10:40:40 _____________________________________________________
andrewdahlin ::: Favorites Aparently (acording to David Bromburg), Jerry Jeff was drunk in a bar and had propisitioned to the right woman, at the right time, in the wrong place, and her husband the bartender called the cops. 07-08-22 09:38:51 _____________________________________________________
goldenglovegreek59 ::: Favorites TOMMY'S TRIVIA . . . Sources say Jerry Jeff Walker met Bojangles in a prison cell in New Orleans (the first precinct jail to be exact). The two began to converse about life in the philosophical way two men on the skids often do. Bojangles began to dance as Walker admired his skill.

steel966 ::: Favorites Sammy was gay and talented, but he didn't write the song. Nothing quite like an original. 07-08-18 05:08:06 _____________________________________________________
whip79014 ::: Favorites Richard Nixons favorite song. Might be mine 2. 07-08-17 20:37:55 _____________________________________________________
