https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2klh2cTa_QBurl Ives singing Ghost Riders in the Sky. The one and only.Interwebs to you if you can identify the instrument he plays.Banjo? Mandolin? Steel guitar?

This is Y I read this strip

bad…..

Agree…that was a real stretch and anyone under fifty probably won’t get it.

I miss Burl. My idea of a folk singer until those danged hippies came along. And a fine actor too.

A lot of younger people aren’t going to get the punch line.

Younger ones will possibly recognize him as the snowman narrator in “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”. The only song of his they’ll likely know is “Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas”.

you must not spend much time reading “Pearls Before Swine” or “Frank & Ernest”.between those two, we’ve probably seen the “worst pun ever” a few dozen times.

A Burl Ives referance? U are dating yourself, dude.

No, I think there have been worse…

First time I heard Burl Ives was at my Grandmother’s house. Had to crank up the Brunswick record player to listen to him sing…

Once in awhile on Sirius Radio, I’ll hear Burl Ives songs on 50’s on 5.

Put one foot in front of the other and soon you’ll be walking out the door.

He’s Mr Ice , he’s Mr 10 below

I dated Burl. Quite a guy!
