Another rockin’ Saturday night for Grandma Neddy, watching PBS between its super-long info-commercials. “Hang Down Yer Head Tom Dooley” by the Kingston Trio? Is there anyone still alive in these United States who remembers that popular song, … except for me? I was still in high school when that song became popular. Imagine - there are still people who like to hear it and there are still people alive who remember.

Tom Dooley was a real person whose real name was Tom Dula, pronounced “Dooley”.
