Those are perfect links, he was really incredible with a six shooter.
As a soldier under Nixon I had a period when I was in a punishment platoon, the “platoon” never numbered over 6, and often it was just me and the sergeants as I watched the other guys come for days or a single week, while I remained there, week, after week, after week, after week, etc., starting each morning with a ten K run and light gear with an M-14 modified with lead in it to weigh 28 pounds.
During that period Sammy Davis JR. had the hit, “The Candyman (can)”, in the barracks in between all the “Cool Hand Luke” type punishments which usually was solely focused on me since I was usually the only one in the “platoon”, I would listen to that song on a transistor radio that I had, and the innocence and joy of it really made me chuckle at what was going on (I was killing those sergeants because they had to keep up with me on the ‘punishments’ and the run). I was having a ball and Sammy’s song was my theme song.
Wasn’t that charming? They had a deep understanding of their craft.
