Shorter 'Country Bear Jamboree' still faithful to original
Now that the grousing (or is that growling) about the Country Bear Jamboree changes at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom have died down, I thought I'd pay the old attraction a visit with a clear head.

DisneyRewind -- February 5, 1919 -- Actor, Comedian, and Songwriter, Red Buttons is Born
On this day in 1919, comedian, actor, and songwriter, Red Buttons was born.
Buttons (born Aaron Chwatt), was an Academy Award winner for his role in the 1957 film, Sayonara.
How did he get the name "Red Buttons"? The combination of his red hair and the large, shiny buttons on the
bellhop uniforms inspired orchestra leader Charles "Dinty" Moore to call
him "Red Buttons," the name under which he would later perform.
He was in many other movies, but Disney fans will know him from the 1977 film, Pete's Dragon, where he played the character, "Hoagy".
In 2006, Red Buttons died of complications from high blood pressure at his home in Century City, Los Angeles, California surrounded by family members.
