Back in the 30's/40's/50, Robert Lunn did a version of the Talking Blues on the Opry or on the E T Midnite Jamboree. Does anyone remember the words? www.billchaviers.com ICQ#36667112 |

Bill I remember him on the GOO but for the life of me I don't remember any of the lyrics. I think he was "slippin' and slidin' up and down the mantle piece" looking for something, maybe a 'chaw of tobacco or ... Do you remember "Jamup & Honey" and the "Duke of Paduca"? Those were definately the "good ole days".  ------------------ [This message was edited by Kenny Dail on 17 February 2000 at 12:40 PM.] |

Down in the hen house, on my knees I thought I heard a chicken sneeze Nothin' but a rooster sayin' his prayers Thankin' the Lord for the hens upstairs About 20 years ago I would throw in some of those old talkin' blues in to Cotton Eyed Joe. I "ustacud" (a redneck term) do four or five verses. That's the only one I can remember right now. Kenny, you're right. There was a verse about slippin' up and down the mantle piece. I'll have to think about this for a bit. Lee, from South Texas |

Don't remember the song you're referring to, but Earnest Tubb did a blues song in the '40s called "My Baby Still Loves Me" that was positively hilarious... "I bought her a brand new Cadillac, Each verse she does something worse, but he still thinks she loves him! |

Thanks to everyone that contributed to this topic. I will try to put the verses in some kind of order if I stop laughing long enough, and will e-mail results. www.billchaviers.com |

Hey Kenny D. Most of us ain't old enough to remember Jamup and Honey or the Duke of Paducah! I don't remember this guy but for some good talkin' blues West Coast style I found a CD by Tex Williams and the Western Caravan which has some really great stuff plus steel by JoaQuin Murphey and a little guitar by Jimmy Bryant here and there. ------------------ [This message was edited by Jerry Hayes on 20 February 2000 at 08:43 AM.] |

Jerry, I seem to remember the Tex W. & Archie Campbell's version of The Hot Rod Race was sort of follow-up to the Talking Blues. I will reply to all when I get the verses together. Thanks,& I hope to see everyone in Dallas at "Charlies' Show". www.billchaviers.com ICQ#36667112 |
