    Does anybody know if the person who originally asked to identify this
    song ever got the message? As has been previously discussed, I believe the requested song is not Lobo's "Me and You and a dog named Boo", but an old country (/bluegrass?) standard called "Old Blue", which was covered on the Byrds' "Dr. Byrds and Mr. Hyde" album in the late 60s.

    Had an old dog and his name was Blue,
    Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too.

    Assuming he/she's reading the ng, probably yes, the person has gotten
    the message. We've gotten sidetracked w/the Lobo hit, obviously.
    The Byrds' version of "Old Blue" seems to be me to be by far the
    most-often cited version here, I've noticed; must be a lot of Byrds
    fans on this newsgroup!
