Did the alligator survive the funk attack?

I think you mean boogaloo.... then again, alligators sometimes live in bogs so your title could be accurate.

Alligator Bogaloo is a Lou Donaldson jam classic. The title is accurate and close to what you might expect. It came from a time Donaldson was playing golf in Florida. He retrieved his ball from a swampy ditch and came face to face with an alligator.

No kidding? I didn't know Willis Jackson played golf.

I somewhat recall hearing this song back in the day. Early George Benson is always welcome (well any Benson).

Jazz for the body, mind and soul.
