Title: For those web-footed coo-yons
Post by: JW_Halverson on August 12, 2012, 07:54:06 pm

Fogerty sang:
"I can still hear my old hound dog barkin' chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there. "

What's a hoodoo?  Kin ya eat 'em?

Ghosts or haints as we call 'em down south. How Fogerty knew that hailing as he did from Cally is
yet another mystery.

Ain't never tried to eat one but truth be told I have shot at a couple.
Over my shoulder you understand.

Hoodoo and voodoo are real close and possibly the old hound was chasing the hare or other
critter that either belonged to the "witch" or was herself in a shape shifted form.

My ma-in-law should know lemme get back to you....

I think it was a word used to describe a dog who is just barking to hear himself. We call it chasing boogers around where I come from. Ron

How about the spiral rock columns formed by years of weathering in the canyons of SW?
