I got my first (imitation) 'coon skin hat when I was about 5 years old.
This is definitely an RIP, big fella.

I always knew him as Daniel Boone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15Gld8abN9w
R.I.P
I've only known him as the winemaker. Too young for B&W TV.
Me too. Mum & Dad wouldn't let me have a Bowie knife, though.Quote:

He he! I remember my first guitar was a Selmer 222, 8 guineas, cheap but playable fortunately. Putting on another concert for the kids in Romania next week, 4 or 5 acts including a band from the local school. Really glad I had a pick up fitted to my old acoustic last year, it makes life a lot easier.
The reference to Davy Crockett took me back to playing Cowboys and Indians when I was a lad; such was the power of the dream of the Wild West.
I loved my bowie knife. I ha d a cap gun too. My parents wouldn't let me play with the tomahawk after the accident.
probably :) you definitely had to be there (1954 - ) ...that Davy Crockett 'coon skin cap was possibly the first successful merchandising based on a TV character ...pre-dated batman masks and capes by decades.Quote:
