I once won tickets to see elvis by entering the number of times marty robbins sang the phrase ‘a white sport coat and a pink carnation’ in the song of the same name. My mother, damn her, made me give the tickets back (and I actually met the hound) so I didnt get to go.
I used to love the way he would play the big heavy and talk over it-“the hounds around……..mr movin is groovin.” Its funny, here in LA, on the beginning of the blues program on kkjz, they just played that song. What a memory.
Also, Wolfman Jack once credited the hound with beiong his inspiration for his character.
