richlmo Origins: Big Rock Candy Mountain (John Hartford) (33) RE: Big Rock Candy Mountain (Hartford) 25 Jul 01

Well, thanks everyone for bursting another childhood bubble. Being a kid in the 50's in Piedmont,NC, one of the first local TV kid shows was " The Little Rascal's Club " hosted by a singing cowboy named Fred Kirby. He was also the Sheriff and resident hero at Tweetsie Railroad. THE song I remember him singing was " Big Rock Candy Mountain ". I never had a clue it was anything but a child's fantasy song. Let's see what we can dig up on " Mary Had A Little Lamb ". Could be pretty interesting !!
