BRUCE B

My favorite, too....I thought it would be sort of "hokey" to post this Thread; but, I
am very pleasantly surprised at the response.

Do you have any insight as to what inspired Dave Frishberg to compose this song ?

One of the reason's it's my favorite BB song....is that when I was about 9 years old,
a neighborhood friend, who was an avid Dodger fan, mentioned the name....Van Lingle
Mungo.
I replied to him....that's not a real name....it's sounds like a musical name ?

Little did I know, at age 9, how clairvoyant I was..ha !

Thanks for your response.
