Mr Bojangles
Amazing Musical Facts: One up and two across. What a difference a typing error can make. Partially sited Jerry Jeff Walker set out to write this song for his old airforce friend Mr Bob Angles. Jerry, in a rush to send the song off to the publishers, hit the wrong key when typing the title.He ment to strike the 'B' key, but he misjudged and hit 'J' instead. Mr Bob Angles became Mr Bojangles. By the time the error was realised it was too late. The records had gone to press and reality had to be made to match perception. Mr Bob Angles has asserted that he should receive a share in the royalties from the song, as it was his name, mistyped which started it all off. Jerry Jeff said ,,,,,,,,,no.

All because the wrong key was hit all those years ago. Ruby B. None of this is true, and your grandads real name was Mr Bojangles.
