Hoyt Axton sung that song. I don't remember the exact title.

him? Any recordings lately? Some might not know that besides owning a most
distinctive voice (which many think of as "head for the mountains of Busch
beer"), he has written songs of incredible diversity -- such as "Joy to
the World," "Never Been to Spain" and "The No-No Song" for Ringo Starr.

>an album released in the mid 70's.
The song Della and the Dealer appeared on:
A Rusty Old Halo
Hoyt Axton
Youngblood (in the UK but licensed from 'Jeremiah') YBLP800, 1980
Axton wrote the song. The album also featured, get this, Garth Hudson,
Stephen Stills, Paul Butterfield, Dr John. James Burton and Emery
Gordy also get a thank you.
The album was recorded in California

Guerilla post here. Saw Hoyt Axton live at a taping of Texas Connection
last year (on the ACL set). He smuggled cigarettes onstage and kept
trying to light up which meant that the producers would go nuts and cut
the song and get mad at him. He was lively and hilarious, but seemed
also very sick and tired underneath. If you have a chance to seem him,
GO! It may be your last and he's a rare breed in this day and age.

Can't help with the recordings, but he doesn't seem to have made any movies
recently. The most recent big-screen one I can find was "We're No Angels"
in 1989, altough he was in a couple of TV movies in 1990 ("The Rousters"
and "Buried Alive").

But I'll always remember him for those words of wisdon:
"Work your fingers to the bone, what do you get? ... Bony fingers. Bony fingers."

I too was there. Hoyt was bombed out of his mind but wildly entertaining.
One of my buddies was playing bass with him and was having a hell of a
time trying to figure out just what Hoyt was going to play. That was a
fun night...
