Thread Name: Origin: Bucketmouth McGinty (Eugene Gunter)
Subject: RE: history ofbucket mouth mcginty
My God A song rescued from a fate worse than death.... Gunter must have written it back in 1951. As I remember I was at U-Conn Sept 51- June 53. I went into the Army Dec 53 and got out Sept 1955. I remained in touch w/ Eugene Patten whole in the service going up to see him and his wife while on leave tho I am sure I learned it before then.. Now it is quite possible that there was a n outing Club at U-Va. back in 51 and as Gene Patten was active in the Outing Clubs he could have learned it at an OC conference ???
Just checked back in My old copies of the OC Songbook and its not in there. Oh well an other mystery      Allan
