Combed his hair with a wagon wheel And died with a toothache in his heel
He enjoyed wearing two hats.
i didnt know he enjoyed wearing two hats, that is interesting
Before his death he was working on another opera based on A Phoenix Too Frequent.
What is A Phoenix Too Frequent about?
an ancient Roman widow plans to starve herself to join her husband in death, until a soldier guarding the husband's tomb charms her back into living.
Oh. I was under the impression that Old Dan Tucker was a miner
Daniel Tucker was a Methodist minister, farmer and ferryman as well as a captain during the American Revolution.Tucker ministered to slaves, and was possibly a source for the song "Old Dan Tucker".
I first heard the song Old Dan Tucker on the show Little House On THe Prairie
That's a great show and a great song.
Yes I agree, very wholesome show!
Right, everyone like fit perfectly with the show.
