Three men’s lives, told through the story of one song. Jerry Jeff Walker, the singer and writer behind the classic hit ‘Mr. Bojangles’, never would have expected that his song would make Richard Nixon cry, or that it would be covered by Sammy Davis Jr. This work traces these three men’s overlapping journeys through the American consciousness.
