I never knew that the Nitty Gritty Dirt band originally recorded this song! I always thought it was Kenny Loggins. I kind of like Kenny's version better mainly because of the acoustic guitar. But this one is cool too! :)
I am 57 now an I think I was 15 or 16 growing up in Fayetteville Ar when NGDB did a free show on the lawn of ole main at the U of A tokeing on a duby siping a little boons farm hanging on to your sweety . Oh man to go back to your youth,,, Then you wake up ,,, to find hay man I havent changed much,,, Hay man flip the record ,,the songs over
Great song. While I happen to like this version (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) over Kenny Loggins, that's just personal taste. I like the instrumentals backing up the song. Thanks for posting
First time I ever heard this song, this album, and of the "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band" was in 1970 while going through Army Basic Trainning at Fort Leonard Wood Mo. I loved the album then,...and love it even more now. Great music!
They are playing the Country Stamped this year in Manhattan KS! I am so excited! I grew up listening to NGDB and they are still one of my favorite bands ever!
The remaster of this album is absolutely beautiful. "Some Of Shelly's Blues" and "Mr. Bojangles" sound better than ever before. But this song is the highlight of the album. Thanks for posting this precious song.
my dad is really Ill right now, and this song reminds me of him, he used to sing this to my son back when he was a baby (20 years ago!) :-) thank you for posting this.
This is such a wonderful feel good song. Such an innocent time in life...sweet memories. I love Winnie the Poo. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is awesome. Thanks for posting.
!977 I was a young guy......full of energy and dreams to share....This album bring me back to my beautiful past times....Also I'am italian but I grow with this kind of music...And belive me there is any differnte music now..how can give such emotional things......
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "The House At Pooh Corner" was the very FIRST song played on Radio 1XX in the Bay Of Plenty, New Zealand on Wednesday 30th June 1971.
Winnie The Pooh doesn't know what to do/Got a honey-jar stuck on his nose - I love the way the band sings this almost kids' song with adult intensity, thereby bringing us all together who read and are now reading this stuff! Go NGDB!
FANTASTIC. Oh, this brings back memories (even though I'm only fifteen...). I grew up listening to the Loggins and Messina version, but this version is great as well. It's the first time I've heard it. I love the wah effect on the guitar; very late sixties/early seventies. It's such a great song that seems to celebrate the innocence and wonderment of childhood and imagination.
Does anyone know if this is available on CD? It was on the album titled "Dirt, Silver, & Gold." I would love to have that entire 3-record set on CD. Let me know. Thanks.
One of my favorite bands. And they HAVE been around forever: I saw them in a hockey arena in Marquette, Michigan in the mid-'70s. One of the best concerts I ever attended.
Love the NGDB! They've been around forever and its unfortunate that they've never received (in my opinion) true recognition of their talent. Guess that's why their fans love them, because in spite of this they never disappoint!
You are so right-I remember seeing them in college at Wake Forest, Winston-Salem, North Carolina back in 1975 and they played for over 4 hours and they were incredible-Jeff, Jimmy, Les, etc.
Alaska State Fair 1976: My wife and I heard they were gonna be there so, we went. I played in bands (still do at 57) and knew who they were. Hardly anyone showed up. They played on a baseball field and they "set up' at home plate. There was hardly enough people to fill the inside diamond between 1st and 3rd. They fired off with "The Moon Just Turned Blue Goodbye Goodbye" and played their butts off . Ah, the good old days! God I still love them!
I was there! I was 18 and went up to Alaska to work on the rail road that summer and fall. The state fair was a riot and the NGDB was awesome. made me a fan for life.
A good good memories.I had it on tape.All the best songs in it.Love the old man and his dog Teddy."Teddy! com 'ere teddy..I want you to sing a song.."
1971 United Artists Records. I got the 45rpm record that year while stationed in Bermerton, Washington with the US Navy. Flip side is "Travelin' Mood." Still have it in the sleeve. Thanks for posting!
Yes, that is a good choice. Thank you for your request. I am a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band buzzard. Thanx for advice. Jeff says if you will give a million dollars toward the planet he will stand on anyone's face.
I remember hearing that on the "Dirt, Silver & Gold" album, which I also had on audio cassette, then gave those away. Now I want it on CD, but it is hard to find. It is not something the kids today clamor for. Jeff Hanna is hilarious. That is him saying, "They got a beer named Jeff?"
"They gotta a beer with my name one it!" Jeff Hanna (slightly intoxicated).
Jimmy Ibbotson (another great singer in his own right): "You mean they gotta a beer named Jeff?" That is a classic line from some classic fellas. I love this kinda music. That is simply hilarious. I guess you had to be there.
I saw them in their hey day at Six Flags Over Mid America (now renamed Six Flags-St. Louis). It was an awesome concert on June 30, 1978. They happened to mention during the concert that they would be in Ballwin, Missouri (a suburb of St. Louis) the following day, which was July 1, 1978. Jeff Hanna mixed his own cement to put his hands and feet in there. I asked him why he was mixed his own cement instead of having an aide do it. He said he mixed cement for a living before he hit it big.
This makes me happy. I just love this rendition of this song. I want to listen to it a lot. It makes me happy. Pastor Jim Harrelson, Spring Church, St. louis, Missouri, USA
This song was hitting the airwaves when I saw my future first love. She had light brown hair down to her waist and always wore dresses. She wore slight rouge on her cheeks and had a quiet and innocent look to her. She was so pretty.
Heard this when I was a sophomore in high school. Long before Bojangles made it big. Made me an original Dirt Band fan. I think I have every single record, CD, album, etc that they have released. What talent. And they are good guys. Can't beat that.
Heard the NGD Band do this before Kenny Loggins. I like both, but there's something for the rendition you hear for the first time. Always something special in my heart for the Band's version of this sentimental tune.
When I was assigned overseas I heard this song and I got so nostalgic after hearing his beautiful ALL American accent that I made a decision right then and there that I wanna move back to the U.S. and I did. I owe it to this song as crazy as this sounds...
Dude we use to play this album over and over. "here teddy chord with this." parts with Uncle Charlie were recorded not too far from here up in Springville, California.
@swerve70 sorry to hear about that man. i lost my little sister a few years back but isn't it awesome to have things to remember them by. take it easy bro
