| NPR aired an old interview of him yesterday.. I got tickled when he said he was more popular than Elvis..  . The crazy thing is, he probably was for a good long time... Remember a lot of folk back in the day thought elvis was of the devil and refused to listen to him.. Davey Daaaaay Vee Crocket, king of the wild frontier.

|  Brings back lots of memories. I used to wear a "coon" hat with the tail as a kid. Wrestled bears with my rubber knife and had a cap gun musket. |

| In thinking back I don't believe I ever missed an episode. Fess was one of my heroes. The only downside is when I first saw the real Alamo in the downtown area and not out on the plains as shown on the TV show.  Jim |

| One of my favorite shows as a kid, and I too had a coon-skin hat and wrastled bears and hunted buffalo and fended off mountain lions and tracked outlaws when I wore it. |

| He was also my hero,I was 9 years old when that show aired.I don't think we owned a T.V. set yet,but I watched it by my friends house.We used to sing that song over and over again until our parents got irritated at us.America was a better place then in every way. Winslow |
