Today I rediscovered one of my favorite albums, Uncle Charlie and His Dog Teddy, by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. I’ve loved NGDB since I was in my teens. One of my best high school memories is seeing them in concert at the Fox Theater in Billings, Montana in the early 1980s. It was a small venue, and I’ll never forget when two of my friends stood up on the theater seats to surf as the band played a Beach Boys tune.
I haven’t heard the music on this album for probably 15 years. Somehow I never got around to replacing my old cassette with a copy on CD, but today I found it on iTunes after getting a gift card from Brenda for Valentine’s Day.
