13 Mar 98 - 11:46 AM (#23698) Subject: RE: The Red Dog Saloon From: Whippoorwill Does the chorus start out, "She played tambourine with a silver jingle, and she must have known the words to at least a million tunes"? If so, the Oak Ridge Boys recorded it when they switched over from gospel to country. |

13 Mar 98 - 02:27 PM (#23712) Subject: RE: The Red Dog Saloon From: Bert Peter, We probably need a little more to go on. There was a Red Dog Saloon in "Springtime in Alaska" sung by Johnnie Cash. |
13 Mar 98 - 05:15 PM (#23720) Subject: RE: The Red Dog Saloon From: Humdinger Folksinger Can't tell you anything about the song, but the Red Dog Saloon is in Juneau, Alaska, which is why you can't buy Red Dog Brew in Alaska. Name infringement, etc. |
14 Mar 98 - 05:32 PM (#23786) Subject: RE: The Red Dog Saloon From: Bojangles There is a reference to the song, " The Red Dog Saloon", in the book, "Alaska Sourdough Ballads and Folk Songs", by Alaskan collector Paul Roseland. Has anyone heard anything about Oscar Brand in the last few years? A call to him, if I can find him, would solve this puzzle. |
