coming to you from Richmond Virginia on
0:06
the corner of North Adam Street and West
0:09
Lee Street in fact this is Adam Street
0:12
I'm Adam I've never actually vicariously
0:16
decided that a street was owned and
0:18
consumed by me before but this right
0:21
here look at this I'm going to stand
0:23
look at this my foot right here is
0:25
standing in my own Street my own
0:28
vicarious Street Adam stre street it's
0:30
my second channel daily blog channel
0:32

0:33
daily Mr
0:37
Bojangles Mr
0:39
Bojangles that's right one more time Mr
0:43
Bojangles dance that's Mr Bojangles
0:47
right there Bill Bojangles Robinson this
0:51
gentleman right here in 1933 erected one
0:54
of Richmond's firsts look at this right
0:57
here you see this that's a traffic light
0:59
in 19 1933 he erected that traffic light
1:02
of course it was a different traffic
1:03
light but it was at the same area of my
1:05
road Adam Street and Richmond Virginia
1:09
this gentleman who is a famous gentleman
1:12
maybe you know him from the song Mr
1:14
Bojangles you might also know him as the
1:17
dancing guy from a lot of Shirley Temple
1:19
movies well this is him this is an
1:22
erected monument in 1976 or 1978 they
1:26
erected this Monument right here on the
1:28
corner of these roads and on honor of
1:30
this great man who in 1933 saw some
1:33
children trying to cross the road they
1:35
were having a hard time going through
1:37
the oncoming traffic even in 1933 I
1:40
guess there was a lot of influx of
1:42
people around here and the children were
1:43
having a hard time crossing the road so
1:46
he decided I'm going to place up there a
1:49
traffic light thanks to this man right
1:51
here now my question to you is is this
1:54
the Mr
1:56
Bojangles from the famed Sammy Davis
1:59
Junior song that you know I knew a man
2:02
Bojangles and he'll Dance For You in
2:05
worn out shoes his shoes however don't
2:09
really look that worn out actually his
2:12
shoes look a lot like the rest of his
2:14
body because it's all made out of some
2:16
sort of a plaster or a metal or a tin
2:19
I'm not exactly sure what it's made out
2:20
of but in the song it says his shoes
2:23
were very worn out because he liked to
2:25
dance he dance and dance and dance and
2:27
dance dog up and died up and died after
2:31
20 years he still Grieves he had a dog
2:35
why people have dogs that become very
2:37
attached to him or Mr Bojangles is no
2:39
exception he had a dog that passed away
2:41
and he was very Grievous over very
2:43
saddened and of course that made it into
2:45
the lyrics of the song Samy Davis Jr as
2:48
far as I know actually didn't actually
2:50
write the song I think he just
2:51
re-recorded it and Sammy Davis Jr
2:53
launched that song into the hearts and
2:56
minds of millions of people it still
2:58
gets played on radio con recently and I
3:01
think I'm not 100% sure so do some
3:03
research and leave some comments down
3:04
below is this the Mr Bojangles I know
3:09
his name his middle name was Bojangles
3:12
Bill Bojangles Robinson but is this the
3:16
Mr Bojangles from the song it looks like
3:19
he's dancing and his name is Mr
3:21
Bojangles I wonder if you have a
3:23
nickname Bojangles that means that you
3:26
just dance like crazy everyone that
3:29
dances should be vicariously named
3:47
Bojangles dance
