Idaho 50 Tales of Walt Robertson (213* d) RE: Tales of Walt Robertson 13 Feb 01


Some of Walt's songs that personified him he did with all the actor's gusto. "I have been a good boy, wed to peace and study; I shall die an old man, ribald, coarse and bloody". He especially savored the lines: "I have been and good boy and done what was ex-pect-ed, I shall be an old bum, loved but unrespected". Then an example of his many irreverent specialties was "My sweetheart's the mule in the mines, I drive her without rein or lines; on the bunker I sit and I chew and I spit, all over my sweetheart's behind". Then there was "Sam Hall", delivered with venom and a fierce flash in the eye. "My name it is Sam Hall, Sam Hall (repeated 2 or 3 times), I hate you one and all, you're a bunch of b******s all, Goddam your eyes." The words look tame on paper compared to his delivery that really crackled. So it was abundantly clear how much sense of delivery as an actor he possessed.
