Who was the real Mr Bojangles? (There are kind of 3)
Показать описание
Mr Bojangles is a great song, but who is it actually about? The answer's simple, but there's a lot to unpack about the song's history, and about the various people that went by the name 'Mr Bojangles' over the years.
I'm Tim Beau Bennett, and I'm making videos about jazz history. Sometimes I talk about jazz musicians, sometimes the songs, and sometimes about genres. I play jazz guitar, though I would call myself a keen amateur, rather than a professional. These videos are a work in progress, but there are many more to come - so please subscribe and let me know what you'd like to see in the comments!
