Well folks, I have another request for a little-known song.  I got
this request:

"I was at work last night, and the band hired for the special event
in the Mess was playing this song called 'Waltzing With Bears'.  It was
about someone's Uncle Albert and how he'd go waltzing with bears and go
home covered with hair -- until one day the bears seemingly took him
with them, and he was never seen again.  The chorus had something about
raggy bears and shaggy bears. I don't know if it was a band original;
they are a local band (from Kingston, Ontario) called Tartan Special,
and they mostly did Irish/folkie stuff."

If anyone knows a song called 'Waltzing With Bears', info would be
appreciated.
