@MNMoxie I agree 100 percent. Hoyt was a master at his craft, and for a man who was as anti drug as he was to recognize their comedic talent and be able to give C&C a break by featuring them was awesome. Also the Tijuana Brass sound makes the tune. Ringo's version was stripped of that vibe and falls flat in comparison IMHO. Thanks for the comment. :)
This is great but does anyone know what happened to the video that was posted on youtube with Hoyt & his 'friends' performing/singing this song? That was the absolute best ever........
I had a friend who met Hoyt in Branson Missiouri in the 1980s. My friend say he was the nicest guy he met and never pretended to be important. He would drop by my friends house when he was lonely and ask him out for coffee.

Hoyt was a friend of our family and he was absolutely wonderful. This version is FAR better than Ringo's. Ringo's doesn't have any personality. :(

Awesome, love it. Hoyt Axton was the bomb. Who knew there was a connection between Cheech Y Chong and Bonanza?
