You'll get a chuckle out of the way I met him. I was picking some off-the-wall tunes by request for tourists near the statue of W.C. Handy on Memphis' Beale Street, hitting everything from Presley tunes [*I can play it if you can sing it...*] Rufus Thomas Walkin' the dog to C.W. McCall's Wolf Creek Pass. This bunch of Memphis dock workers showed up and pitched in, and one of 'em grinned and asked me for Wooly Bully...and Lil Red Ridin' Hood... And JuJu Hand...and Jimmie Lee Riley's My Gal is RedHot!....
We kept that up for an hour or so before he fessed up to me who he was. One absolutely thoroughly nice guy.

W.C. HandyEven she is the very epitome of a limousine liberal, I much prefer Joni's music to much of what is played on "Classic" Rock Stations.
I'm rich and I'm fey
And I'm not familiar with what you played
But I get such strong impressions of your hey day
Looking up and down old Beale Street
