Remember Fess Parker?

His birthday tomorrow.

Still have your coonskin cap and Davey Crockett paraphernalia?

Born on a mountain in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew ev'ry tree
He kilt him a b'ar when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!

Fought single-handed through the Injun War
Till the Creeks was whipped an' peace was in store
An' while he was a-handlin' this risky chore
Made hisself a legend for evermore
Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!
When he lost his love, his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
An' lose hisself in the forests tall
But he answered instead his country's call
Davy, Davy Crockett, the choice of the whole frontier

1957 (almost six years-old)

I do believe that August 16th is the 'Anniversary' of Fess Parker's birth as he's been long dead and gone since 2010.

With that said, I still have fond memories of the roles he played for Disney and the TV series. :tu

Alamo patriot.
