Ernest

Ernest is a nicely-dressed brown bear, who plays a fiddle in the Disney theme park attraction Country Bear Jamboree.
==Biography==
From 1972's Country Bear Jamboree record album:
Ernest the Dude is a modern Beau Brummell, the well-dressed bear-about-town. He carries his wardrobe with him wherever he goes, which is difficult (not many motorists will pick up a bear hitchhiker with 17 trunks of clothes). He has 30 coats and 40 slacks (some of which fit), 60 shirts, 47 shoes, 20 hats, and a pair and a half of underwear. Each year, when the Ten Best Dressed are announced, Ernest the Dude is there (wondering why he isn't on the list).
From the Country Bear Musical JamboreeWho are Them Country Bears, Anyhow? | Disney Parks Blog:
Ernest the Dude is one of the best-dressed bears guests will see at Grizzly Hall – he brings his entire wardrobe wherever he goes. For those counting, that’s 17 trunks filled with 30 coats, 40 slacks, 60 shirts, 20 hats and a pair and a half of underwear.
