Hi, I'm new here. I used to be a regular folk music listener before a wife and 4 kids depleted all my spare time. Now I'm a lowly Cub Scout Den leader who is trying to come up with material for a skit.

I remember many performers some 20-25 years ago who would play "Arkansas Traveler" while reciting funny interplays between a "passer-by" and an "old country bumpkin". Unfortunately, my memory of those lines has faded and I recall that they were quite entertaining. One set was:

PB: Say old man, have you lived here all your life? OCB: Not yet.

I know I've heard John Hartford, Fred Holstein, Stephen Wade, and, I think, Art Thieme all do variations on those lyrics, so I assume they have some common origin. In any event, can anyone else recall any more of those question and answer sets? I suspect that the humor would work well on my Scouts.
