A big hit for Jay Livingston and Ray Evans in 1948.
I'm old enough to remember hearing it on the radio and mishearing the word "buckskin" as "Boston."
Hey, I was only four years old!
Nevah hoid o’ dis one,,, I was born in 1949 , maybe iz why….
Jack this is one of my favorite tunes to play. I learned a version by Bob Paisley and the Southern Grass. They play it right fast, but its just as great done slow. Whouda thought a song from a Bob Hope movie would become a great bluegrass instrumental? Thanks as always Jack-a-roo!
Gary,
Check the original post I made. Information about Trigger....Jack

Below is a YouTube link to a fine Bluegrass instrumental version of the song by Tony and Larry Rice. The recording provided me with the impetus to try to figure out how to play the song on the banjo. According to their album liner notes, it was a song they had learned together when they were children.
Oh Yeah,
It's hot!!. Everything in Bluegrass is Hot....HA

Bluegrass makes the Ave Maria sound Hot....Honest I've heard it....Jack
I like shoe-horning Neil Young and even Ferdinando Carulli tunes into banjo arrangements. Nuttin’s outta bounds….
