MULE TRAIN!
BOB BLACKMAN
We just love Country Mewsic!
Gosh darned hecken ‘fresh! Darned tootin’!
Never let it be said that the Brits don’t take their Country Mewsic seriously!
N.B. Bob Blackman, a British television personality known for his appearances on 1970s light entertainment shows (such as Tiswas), famously sang "Mule Train" while repeatedly hitting himself on the head with a metal tray. He became a cult figure for this distinctive, comedic performance.

There's a theory that some footballers in the 1970's & 80's, who headed the football regularly, went on to have dementia/alzheimer's disease. Wonder if Bob also suffered from these dreadful diseases from doing this? Jeeziz! This was entertainment back in those days. I remember seeing him on Opportunity Knocks I think. and loved it. I must've matured!!! Thanks for the memories Andy. DD
You are SO welcome Dave it never fails to make me smile and if you look closely the act seemed to reflect in his face when he thought he had hit himself too hard which I LOVED! Rolling on the floor laughing when I first saw our Bob!
