    so I have a Jim Stafford story for ya'll! I am in Canada. For many years I worked for the Calgary Stampede. during this time Jim Stafford was performing on the free Coke Stage every night. He was staying in a hotel across the very busy street and would have to walk a long way around to get in a gate. So he made his own gate. He cut out a part of the fence and every evening he would cross the busy road and sneak in that way. and every couple of days our ground crew wound fix the fence. after a couple of years of this, we made him his own gate, just for him.

      I saw him play in Ottawa. He opened for Kenny Rogers. It was a great day. We had special tickets. The day started with a bus ride out to a big ranch. There we had free beer, a corn roast, and listened to, and watched, the Family Brown playing all afternoon. They were spectacular. The bus then took us to Landsdowne Park where we had seats with a table and beer served. From there we watched and enjoyed a great set by Stafford. Cow Patty was a hit at the time. The Kenny came on with all of his catalogue. Very special night.

He has also recorded a version of "Mr. Bojangles" that will bring a tear to the eye. Jim Stafford covers everything from humor to pathos. He once said that he was raised as a Frisbeeterian.

    The tune this song was based on, "Wildwood Flower", was a VERY popular song by the "Carter Family"; (the same family of June Carter, who married Johnny Cash). Maybelle Carter (in her elder years known as "Mother Maybelle") is credited with popularizing the "Carter Scratch"; a manner of playing the guitar. See the black and white version of "Wildwood Flower" for a good example and closeup. In her much elder years, Maybelle also went on Johnny Cash's TV show to perform a variation on the song, called "Pick the Wildwood Flower"

    Jim Stafford is hilarious and he had his own show in Branson. Swamp Witch is a spooky story and many of his other songs are riffs that take a song in. Completely different directions like Cow Patty and My Girl Bill.

    Jim Stafford is a great guitar player and he's half singer and half comedian in concert. Saw him, The James Gang, and The Beach Boys all in one night's concert for $3. There was a streaker on stage that night during The Beach Boys. If you want to become more familiar with streakers, react to Ray Steven's song "The Streak". Yes, that was another thing going on in the 70's as Amber likes to point out.

    Jim Stafford plays a bit of "Cow Patti" in a scene in Clint Eastwood's "Any Which Way You Can". Some of his better songs not already mentioned here is "Cows With Guns", "Marie Lavoe", and the most especially comical "Under the Scotsman's Kilt". Spiders and Snakes, Swamp Witch, and Wildwood Weed are probably his most well known tunes--and you can't go wrong listening to any of them.
    As far as Ray Stevens goes, I'd highly recommend "The Streak" and "Gitarzan" as must reactions.

    Wildwood Flower is an old song probably dating back hundreds of years with some of the lyrics changing. The Carter Family recorded and released the most popular version in 1928. They were the first country or hillbilly group,consisting of AP Carter, Sarah his wife and her cousin Maybelle who was married to AP ‘s brother Ezra. Her youngest daughter June was Johnny Cash’s second wife.

      I'm just glad the squad is getting into these old songs. I'm hoping they will eventually go even farther back to see the evolution of all the genres we have today. Most genres today have common roots at some point in the past.
      In this case.... yes the wildwood week lyrics are Jims. However the tune being played is the classic wildwood flower (actually the tune itself goes way way back I think before the wildwood flower lyrics). Here is a recording well worth listening two of Mother Maybelle Carter. and the Carter family. I'm not sure but that might be Johnny Cash wife to be June Carter on the autoharp.

Also, Jerry Reed doing “Amos Moses” is another great comedy song. Jerry Reed is also considered one of the best and most versatile guitarists ever. I used to work for a local favorite band (Amarilla in Greenwood, SC) and we opened for Jerry Reed there in a medium venue (~10,000 people) and were able to spend some time backstage talking with him and his band.

    I've been a fan of Jim Stafford since I was a kid. This song along with Real Good Time, Spiders and Snakes, Cow Patty, Sixteen Little Red Noses and a Horse That Sweats, and too many others to list here are some of my all-time favorites. A few years ago, I got to see him perform at his theater in Branson. If you're ever up that way, you should definitely catch his show. He has a lot of great funny songs, but he is also an excellent guitarist on par with Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, Eddie Van Halen... whatever guitarist you can name, he can hold his own with them. BTW, it was a corn cob pipe they put it in to smoke it.

But when I got older (about 14yrs old) and played this one, one day for laughs, realizing WHAT he was talking about for the 1st time made me love the song even more. I can still see my dad (almost 40 years later) coming home from work catching me "playing with his stereo" and being upset UNTIL I explained to him that I now actually "got" the song.

    Ray Stevens' It's Me Again, Margaret; The Streak, and Sitting Up With the Dead are all hilarious.
    Jerry Clower's Coon Hunting Story is a country classic.
    Hoyt Axton is a great country storyteller. Della and the Dealer and Rusty Old Halo are two of his best.

    "My Girl Bill" is waiting patiently for a reaction. Although, it was released in the early 70s, so it might not seem as comical as it did back then. My favorite line from this recording was difficult to hear because Amber laughed when he said it. It's the part where he finds his brother naked singing on the windmill. "He says he flew up there. I HAD TO FLY UP THERE AND GET HIM DOWN. He's about half-crazy."
