CLIFF ROAST--A SPECIAL 90 MINUTE RADIO/VIDEO-STREAMING PROGRAM HONORING Cliff Jacobson

I was recently honored ("roasted") on The July 21, 2021 CAMPING SHOW (W4CY Internet radio) hosted by CW Goetz. I was very honored and touched by the many wonderful comments. Check out the CAMPING SHOW to see the tribute and watch Jerry Vandiver perform a hysterical song he wrote for this occasion entitled "Cliff Jacobson."


You can also watch the video below that my daughter put together.


Jerry Vandiver is a popular world-class musician/song writer, based in Nashville, TN. His songs have appeared on millions of records.


Jerry writes and performs unique (hilarious!) songs about canoeing and camping. He's a featured and loved guest at canoeing and camping events. He's also an experienced outdoorsman. We paddlers just love him!

Thank you, Jerry for this special song, Lyrics below:


Cliff Jacobson

by Jerry Vandiver

Now there is a man we all know and love

Who goes by the name of Cliff Jacobson

Ask him a question, he won’t think twice

Even God comes to Cliff for advice

Chorus

Cliff Jacobson, Cliff Jacobson

A paddler who is second to none

Opinionated, celebrated, oh but never inebriated

There is only one – Cliff Jacobson

Oh the stories we could tell about him

But we’ll save the best for Kevin Callan

Yes you could say he’s set in his ways

The right way, the wrong way – and Cliff’s way

Cliff Jacobson, Cliff Jacobson

A paddler who is second to none

Opinionated, celebrated, some say even overrated

But there is only one – Cliff Jacobson

Now Cliff likes his scotch after a long day’s paddle

Ask him for a sip and you’ve got a battle

But all in all Cliff’s a fine gent

As long as you put your liner inside the tent

Cliff Jacobson, Cliff Jacobson

A paddler who is second to none

Opinionated, celebrated, sometimes even castigated!

But there is only one – Cliff Jacobson

*My flagship book, CANOEING WILD RIVERS, 5th Edition, contains a wealth of advice on "how to safely canoe difficult rivers."


*If you want to introduce a teen or young adult to canoeing and camping, check out my book, Justin Cody's Race to Survival. It mixes a fictional wilderness survival tale with practical outdoor skills everyone should know--basically a "how-to-camp and canoe book" disguised as an adventure novel. My hope is that the survival story will keep their interest while the "how to stuff" will teach them right. Adults love it too!
