Nice tribute angel enjoyed
thank you Angel
My Dear Greg,
Sammy Davis Jr was one of my all-time favorite entertainers. I remember when I was a young man, I read his biography, "Yes I Can". I strongly recommend it, a great write.
I can still hear him singing "Mr Bojangles", like your beautiful poem says, his tribute to the great dancer of years past.
As you always say, "Drum Roll For Greg".
Love,

thank you Larry he was always my fav ones I went London I saw show called the rat pack and the guy in the show that played Sammy sounded so much like him the show so was good I went back the next day it was even better then I bout the video to that show and many cd of the real rat pack lot fun
AWESOME GREG!!..... How can you NOT Love one of the "Rat Pack"..... all were amazing entertainers in their own right..... But SAMMY and FRANK were Monster Talents!!.....I don't think ANYONE could ever wear a six-shooter and actually know what they were doing better than Sammy..... he won the "Quick Draw" contest in Hollywood like 20 times or something crazy like that...... He could sing and dance like NO OTHER!!..... and when he sang ~ "has anybody here.... seen my old friend John?... can you tell me where he's gone..." Martin, John, and Abe?..... the entire audience would be silent and cry EVERY single time he sang it.......I LOVE that you chose to do a tribute for him!!....GREAT choice!!......PINNED!!....well done my friend!!.......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.....T xo ?✴❤?
Ps. I can't remember the exact title of that song......I think it was "Abe, Martin, and John"..... about the three great men that got assassinated..... John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Abe Lincoln...... although I could be wrong about Abe!!...... anyway, Loved it GREG!!..... peace ?
Ps.s......I still play Mr. Bojangles on my guitar at least twice a month to this day ?
