Thread Name: Origins: Old Dog Blue
Subject: RE: Old Dog Named Blue
Sorry about that last empty entry.

Jim Jackson's version of Old Dog Blue from the Anthology is really great. In that version, when Blue dies, he digs a grave with a silver spade and lowers Blue down with a golden chain. And whenever he imagines hearing Old Blue bark, he know's Blue has just "treed a possum on Noah's ark." Good stuff, I think.

Though the Byrds give me the heebie-jeebies, I know they do a version of Old Dog Blue.
