Everglades - John Dennis Dickey (Multi-track recording)

Harlan Howard's "Everglades" was done ultimate justice by The Kingston Trio back in 1960. It's one of those few songs written about Florida...among which can be included "Moon Over Miami", "Tallahassee Lassie", "Gainesville Gals (Won't You Come Out Tonight)" and, maybe, "Where The Boys Are". If anybody knows any more, I'd sure like to be clued in.

I love this, John, and it has been a long time since I have seen a post from you and have missed them. Great song, great rendition. "Running like a dog through the Everglades"...terrific!

@ceb2633 Kind words, Claudia. I've been immersed in computer projects and haven't done much in the world of extemporaneous music of late. Maybe later...Cordially, John

Thanks for your kind comment, skeeterideplore. I don't care for those Everglades skeeters, either, who used to dive-bomb the Key Biscayne in the summer months. Florida-Once-Removed John

Nice work sir!

Wow...who knew, Tony? The first time I heard this arboreal song was on a Kingston Trio LP called "String Along". I really wasn't aware that it survived beyond that release. Thanks for watching. Cordially, John

I even like the message at the end! I heard this song as the theme from a short-lived 1961 TV show called "The Everglades."

Aside from the great overdubbing and spot-on harmony - you did a great job with the images here in support of the lyric!
