No matter WHO's covered "Drift Away" in the past, NO ONE could surpass (in the wrong direction) country singer Narvel Felts' version, which appeared a few months after Dobie's: ".....I wanna get lost in your country song , and drift away ....." ouch. ------------------------- "UGGA-UGGA-BOO, UGGA-BOO-BOO, UGGA!" --Mel Blanc & Hans Conried

....and, of course, just a year later Buck Owens covered Dr. Hook's "Cover Of The Rolling Stone" as "COVER OF THE MUSIC CITY NEWS"! I trust songwriter Shel Silverstein gave his consent......?! ------------------------- "UGGA-UGGA-BOO, UGGA-BOO-BOO, UGGA!" --Mel Blanc & Hans Conried

I'm somewhat embarrassed... at first I thought you were talking about the actor who played "Dobie Gillis" on TV! ------------------------- "I'd like to cover you with furs and automobiles!"
