Nature Boys

Found this article in the February, 1950 issue of "PIX" magazine. I thought you might enjoy it:

  1. That's amazing! My mother used to sing "Nature Boy" around the house all the time when I was growing up. Other than my mother's dramatic rendition of it, I never knew anything about it - and now there's the songwriter on your blog - and he's a real nature boy!

  2. Don't you wonder what happened to them? Did the one guy ever sail away? Did they kill the coyote? How does the Nature Boy's son live now? Like his parents?
    Enjoyed this a lot. Thanks!

  3. To answer a some of Floridagirl's questions... It doesn't appear that anything was done about the coyote. Google him and you'll find the archived newspaper article stating he lived in a vehicle and also had other pets, like white rats. As to Nature Boy's son, from Wikipedia... his son was drowned in 1971 at the age of 22.
