Funny, I like some of the old songs, some of the old blues, you know, different styles of them.
Matter of fact, a few months back I was over in Germany.
I have a friend that brings me in every once in a while.
We play in these little sort of clubs over there from [E] time to time.
And this last time he had me playing in some kind of jazz and blues club,
which is not really my thing so much.
And I couldn't [N] be talking to those folks like I'm talking to you.
I mean, I could have.
But they just would have sat [A] there.
So I thought I'd try and remember some of the old stuff that I heard when I was a kid growing up.
My dad [B] had a great collection of records from friends of his.
Guys like, you know, Led Daly and Big Bill Brooms and some of those guys.
Sonny Terran Brown and McGee.
[A] Some of them that was alive when I was growing up became friends of mine.
And I always loved singing their stuff.
So here's an old song from Sonny Brown.

cornbread, [A] peas, black molasses.
