BR549 - Me and Opie Down By The Duck Pond

[@NashvilleRachel]

I used to be on time at Robert's to hear BR5-49 play this beauty at midnight 💥

[@markroseberry2673]

I am one of the co-writers of this song. Mostly written in my kitchen in Lawrence, Ks. with Chuck and Alan Murphy. Good times!

[@grantmclean1]

I listen to this song nightly. It never gets old.

[@jonathanwortley1643]

Thank you very much. I love this song. You sir, are a national treasure.

[@skinnycatullus]

It's brilliant and cracks me up no matter how many times I hear it.

[@trowerz]

Thank YOU!!!

[@davidterry919]

Great song and story ,it happens more than people know . There is nothing wrong with a feller getting one with the moon and stars

[@KacieJoe]

I told my dad I was listening to a song about weed, off of Famliy Guy. And he said he didn't want to encourage me but (whispered) "but you should go listen to Me and Opie". I whispered "ok cool thanks" and ran to the computer and listened to it. I'm glad I did because I think this may be my new favorite country song!

[@gcord21]

These guys are so underrated by the country community!

[@allison37388]

I love me some BR549!

[@brendawoods7959]

Reminds me of a hootenanny that Gma & I would go to on a Saturday night down around Seligman, MO. Some good’ole toe-tappin music. ☺️ Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@capt777737]

RIP Sheriff Andy Taylor RIP Goober RIP Deputy Fife. they both playin together now

[@gcord21]

The song is also available on an EP called "Live at Roberts" some of the best live music I ever heard.

[@colbrt]

truth! That record still holds up, I was just listening to it.

[@marshallh6956]

@@colbrt still holds up, good stuff

[@JerryDLTN]

Brings back good memories of hanging out at Robert's Western World in the '90s.

[@mtslawyer]

Wow. Old memories. My (soon to be) wife and I were at this performance circa November 2005 or so at the Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour at the Kentucky Theater in beautiful downtown Lexington, Kentucky. Their "Dog Days" album was about to come out. If I remember correctly they also played "Poison", "After the Hurricane", "Lower Broad Street Blues", and "Let Jesus Make You Breakfast". "Bettie Bettie" and this song were the encores.

[@sillyman68]

great song forgot about it, Glad i found it agaiin.

[@Davedidntdoit]

BR549 is one great band carryin on the Bill Kirchen tradition of hip acts doin truckin songs. Commander Cody's of y'all, I'm sure.

[@thelastnic]

love B5549

[@Highland_Moo]

I want this played at my funeral! Much love from the Scottish highlands x

[@thechromehorn13]

what a great song for anyone from the sixties. Heck Mayberry is timeless. Anyone of any age would love it. Floyd was definitely a hop head. Love this song. All Time Top 10 on my personal list.

[@jamespool2642]

I grew up watching old shows like that, it's a shame that good shows like that aren't made anymore

[@HGates-hl4eq]

Saw them in concert with the original members in state college PA 2002. Still to this day one of the best concerts I'll ever see. 👍

[@boabstewart]

shear class from the best band !

[@HippieButter]

My favorite song of all time.

[@Petestjoe]

Aw, Paw . . . that one makes me cry . . . .

[@melissarennie8301]

Love this! I would swim from my home in the NW Highlands of Scotland to wherever they were perfoming just so I could hear this live :) that, and Chuck Meade is gorgeous lol!

[@Tokyodriving]

Great stuff. My mom used to work at Tootsies in downtown Nashville back in the mid 90s. So, when I was a kid I got to see them sometimes. Always been metal kind of guy but they sure did get me to like country/honky tonk. I think they are a bit of outlaw too.

[@jamespool2642]

I used to live in Nashville, for Tootsies you have to get there real early to get inside on the weekends, always a line to get in. I sure miss Nashville

[@Tokyodriving]

@@jamespool2642 same here I miss it too. I hope I get a job there in a few years.

[@johnengland2996]

Mark Andrew Miller singin some great tenor harmony!

[@carolbwilkerson]

Loved it!

[@Anna1755]

Chuck+Johnny Horton+Opie = Aiiiiyeeeee Good stuff!!!

[@CutestChihu]

i found this song online back in 2001 then forgot about it until the other day. I love it. Thanks for posting it. :)

[@gcord21]

@granitehills2t These guys are so underated by the country community!

[@babyrebbel]

This is great, perfect actually! It makes me feel really happy inside, I love the lyrics, so funny!

[@suellenw561]

I just came across this & wonder why I don't remember hearing it before. My Dad was named Opie. We watched "Little Opie" grow up on TV.

[@tinaclayton8828]

You go Otis! Slurp that girl!

[@granitehills2t]

this is the best country song in the world and it is extremely hard to find!!!!Thank you for posting it, you made my day!

[@jamespool2642]

They play it every once in a while on the big show with John boy and Billy

[@michaelfrost1310]

So good!

[@JAIstarkillerkid]

"It's time to tell you the true story all about the lost episode of the ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW ... It's a particularly heinous story about drug abuse and sexual deviance ... looks like it's right up your alley" - BR549, LIVE AT ROBERT'S.

[@bgmckable]

now this describes my kind of mayberry

[@jamespool2642]

Sounds like where I grew up

[@CraigCampbell922]

I wonder if Paul Simon has heard this. Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard.

[@jesuiscequejesuis2267]

Or if John Denver heard it. Thank God I'm a Country Boy.

[@mkl62]

To Don Herron. Happy Birthday. 9-23-2009. Well, you finally caught up to me (at 47). Hey, maybe you all can perform in Columbia, SC or Augusta, GA sometime. Think about it. Many happy returns.

[@leadfootc5]

Is there a video of BR549's version of Uneasy Rider?

[@granitehills2t]

@dopesmoker444 I dont think you can get this song on i tunes and back in the day it was hard to get on Napster and similar music sharing sites.

[@GregHjelmstad]

free version of this in a podcast on itunes. FYI

[@kavukiland]

[@oscarvestdijk]

[@toolgirl1977]
