Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Song about a dog named dixie
Yeah, I'd like to know who did the song, and I don't know when I'll see the guy who played it again.

It's a REAL tear-jerker. The chorus also had a line about how, even if they hit her with a stick today, she'd play with them tomorrow. As manipulative as it was, it struck me as a quality song, although it could have been this guy's playing.

He said the author has been around since the 60s, and that he was a big guy who looked like a biker, and he wrote a lot of stuff like that. I could be wrong, but I think he said he saw him in Texas.
