Let's see: "Davy Crockett Frontiersman; Davy Crockett Indian Fighter; Davy Crockett Congressman and Davy Crockett Defender of the Alamo. Did I miss any?

That's why I'm a 30 (31 in late December) year old grand daughter, not a daughter, of the Ballad as it were. But you can bet your buttons I grew up hearing the Ballad, seeing episodes, hearing tales about Fess Parker that my father and grandfather had to share, etc.
