Bobby O'Brien	Life of Burl Ives (158* d)	RE: Life of Burl Ives	26 Apr 97
A few interesting tidbits on Burl Ives: 1. Though he recorded many a children's song, he HATED children more than the plague! 2. He was a militant rebel against the US government in his own way. 3. When asked what was his favourite song, of all he recorded, he referenced a little known obscure ditty found on an old Decca album from the early 60s, "I found my best friend at the Dog Pound" ! Still, he's a legend. What a voice! His final television appearance was in 1987 on Dolly Parton's ABC-TV Variety Show, on her Christmas episode in which Ives sang "Holly Jolly Christmas", and later, in a sketch, played a mysterious ghost who appeared at Dixie's Diner one Christmas Eve.
