Me and You and a Dog Named Boo, and Two Cats Too

In the same era as Cat Stevens’ “Moon Shadow” from yesterday, we go to a top ten song from 1971 that you are probably familiar with. It’s on my mind this morning because Eliot has been behind again on his hair cuts and is getting a spring shave down today. I need to get better on staying non top of his mane before it starts to matt up. In truth, we’re just going to have to get him on a regular schedule so it doesn’t get put off.

Boo is one of his many nicknames, along with Bear, Bug Bear, Bubby, and Muppet. The other two fur balls in the house are Oscar who is about the same age as Eliot (2 years) and the veteran, 15-year old Milton who tolerates the youngsters as best he can.

I imagine Roland Kent Lavoie’s life became a bit easier after he became known as just Lobo, which is Spanish for wolf, not to be confused with the Lobo of DC Comics. His music certainly became well known and loved. This song hit number five in the US top 100, charted in the UK and helped lead him toward popularity in New Zealand and Southeast Asia as well. He may not be traveling and living off the land these days, but he’s still out there at 81 years of age, and hopefully still singing.
