RIP Billy Joe Royal

Great singer of the 60's. One of his top songs was "Down in the Boondocks".

Down in the boondocks was one of my favorites when I was a teenager.

I recently wrote on another thread that I used to walk through Baltimore, alone, at night ... something no parent would let their 13-year old do in this day and age.

Down in the boondocks is a good description of the neighborhoods I walked through.
Now, that same area is a tourist haven, with hotels, restaurants, WOW! Other parts of the city .... not so nice.

"One fine day I'll find a way, to move from this old shack...
I'll hold my head up like a king, and I never, never will look back ..."

Inspirational words ... RIP Billy Joe Royal
