The Ballad of Davy Crockett by Walt Disney Studios (The Wellingtons)

Here’s a nostalgia fix for baby boomers who grew up with Fess Parker, Disney, The Alamo, cap guns, black and white television, and coonskin caps. 

Almost every American boy (and many girls) knew the following things about Davy Crockett:

1.  He was born on a mountaintop in Tennessee   2.   Tennessee is the greenest state in the land of the free    3.  He lived in the woods where he knew every tree (did he actually know every tree?  or did he know every kind of tree?)     4.   He killed a bear when he was only three (and we believed this).

Here is the original theme song from the TV show.    HL
