Albert Collins - Lights Are On Nobody Home
Nothing but love for Albert Collins!
I got to shake his hand at the Bayou nightclub in DC way back when.
The Master of the Telecaster. What a talent.
Hell of a guitar player.
Love it.
I clicked on this post thinking it was about Hillary.
Albert Collins rocks!
music
Performing with Johnny B. Gayden (bass) 9/28/16. First took a shine to the blues in 1984 - track from “Frozen Alive” on the radio.
I remember a similar one that I only partly recall: Nice House, Nobody Home.
Won’t someone help me deal with my girlfriend please?
A girl who got 210 on her S-A-Ts;
Her mind is on the range where buffalo roam,
Nice house, nobody home!
Albert Collins - “Don’t Go Reaching Across My Plate”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKIHAvTuDEQ
If one thing in this world
I just can’t stand
Is bein’ at the table wit’ an ill-mannered man
Now, if he’s sittin’ on your left
Before you could eat a bite
He’ll reach across your plate
An’ you know that ain’t right
Now I like to eat, as well as any man
But there’s some rules, a fool should understand
When ya have one little helpin’
And want an extra piece of cake
I tell ev’rybody, don’t go reachin’ across my plate
At a party last week, there was some high-class folks
Ev’rything on the table, an’ that ain’t no joke
They had barbecue possum, rattlesnake gravy
Chicken fried skunk, an’ it smelt real crazy
Ev’rything went fine, but one thing made me blue
A cat reached across my plate, for some armadillo stew
Now when you at the table, you act real nice
You say, “pass me that” or “pass me the pie”
But just because you hungry, an’ happen to come in late
Don’t you go reachin’, across my plate
Hmmm. I thought it was going to be a parody of Hillary Clinton.
Those are some tasty Blues.
