This song 'Utah Karl' was a song my dad played for us on the 'Music Of the Ozarks' album and our family of four boys, four girls and mother would all laugh and dance around as my dad got pleasure in playing it for us and would play it often until we got sick of it...LOL So we made fun of it. Anyways he passed on at age of 88 last Thursday. I am grateful for his influence in my musical tastes among many other things that I am thankful for as my father. R.I.P. Dad.(still will post tomorrow)
As a writer and true to his Scotch/Irish/English roots he liked to recite this:

Yes thanks all he had special Peace Mission with his Veteran core group to South Korea also got laid off w the Control Data Corp was big deal in Mpls, MN then to (Have a ball in) St. Paul our sister city he watched Masterpiece Theater on public TV and at the same time he would let me stay up late on a school night to watch my fave TV show Kolchak the Night Stalker and of course our group of 10 with Irish schooled family was next door so Friday nights after block street games it was popcorn and pop party night at our house with Horror Inc movie

Hey P,
sorry to hear of your loss.
It sounds like your Dad raised a great family and
