"Airedale Special on the Fly," my favorite song!

There's a reason they made this song about airedales rather than some other dog!

A bark-out to amazing @BillyStrings and his fine band!

Wonderful performance of "Airedale Special on the Fly"!

Billy does an airplane propeller with his hair at the beginning - lol!

Woof!

Jessie of "Jim and Jessie" -- see pinned tweet -- is still alive at age 91. I wonder if he's heard any of Billy's performances of "Airedale Special."

I love Billy and his band, but that 1953 recording of the song by Jim and Jessie is exquisite, probably never to be matched.

Here's a few other good recordings of "Airedale Special."




If you have your own favorite recordings of the song, or just interesting ones (e.g. home recordings) feel welcome to post them!
