R & B (REDUX)

6.4.2015 (originally posted this meeting day, 2000)

Howdy folks. I was going through my CD's the other night and I found a great blues compilation CD that I had totally forgotten about. I think I lifted it from one of my neighbors a long time ago. All I got was the CD and it had artwork all over it and - total bummer - no track names or artists were identified. This totally sucks because there's some kick butt songs. One has this woman singing about her man's foot getting chopped off. Drag. This other dude's lady skips out on him and his dog runs off. That's bluesy. I haven't listened for so long this other song took me totally by surprise. I had to listen to it again to make sure I heard it right, but on second listen it was the same. I couldn't believe it. The parallels to the TNSC are scary! REALLY WEIRD. Here's the words so you can see for yourself. Try to sing it - blues-style. The music's your standard blues rhythm, guitar, drum. Foot tappin.' Low old-dude voice. Use yer imagination:


Tonight you wan have fun
I'll tell you where you wa-na go
Said tonight you wan have you some fun
I'll tell you where you want to go
Jus you lissen up here fo 'while 'tell you
Ev'ry lil bit you need to know

Goin' out with bunch of folks tonight
Prob'ly have too much to drink
Goin' out with a bunch of friends tonight
Likely mess with the way I think
Sure to be a real smoky place
When you get home you gonna stink

Lotsa people goin be there
Rather than goin’ home to bed
Many people goin' be at that bar
The cheer will be widespread
Here's where I reveal to you where we're goin:
See you tonight at the Homestead

Old man Rosey ain't goin be there
No one drew him a map
Said ol man Rosey won't be showin' up
Ain't nobody drew him no map
Prolly jes go on home cross the bay
have him a little vodka-induced nap

So see the rest-ya at the bar tonight
We'll have a real wild time
Meet you a the bar tonight
Sure to be a really wild time
If'n you don't get home till real, real late
Ain't a bit of fault of mine.


See what I mean? Whoa! Isn't that part about Rosey trippy? I mean, what a coincidence! WE have a TNSC list member named Rosey who always needs a map. Too bad he didn't sing about Lottery numbers. I'da had to play them. So let's take a cue from an old bluesman and meet up at the the Homestead.

Contest: Pickin' and Grinnin'

Arts & Craft: WICKER!


Be nice to someone tonight: Bring 'em to the Thursday Night Social Club meeting. See you at the pre-arranged time
