"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Happy Feet Friday
Here's another tune I used to hear a lot, riding around in the car with Old Paco when I was a kid.

I was wondering about that line 'no hi brow woman make me walk the line' was that a snark on Johnny Cash? But according to you know whatki, this was written in '46, while Walk The Line was written in '56.

In today's woke world, it would be considered misogyny.
This was one of my favorite songs back then. I would sing along and imagine I sounded just like TEF at his best. Until the time I actually recorded myself singing the song. Upon playing it back, I noticed a few subtle differences between my voice and his.
And by subtle differences, I mean the song was barely recognizable. So much for my appearance on Ted Mack.
One of my favorite singers doing a fave song! TEF was on my family's play list. Thanks, Paco! It made Friday and the weekend better! It also got a ear worm out. Btw, this is a two-fer/win win; the video after Ernie's is Glenn Miller doing Chattanooga Choo Choo.
Old Paco was frequently away from home when my brother and I were kids, so we treasured the time we had with him. And driving around in the car with the radio on brings back happy memories. All those old songs - like "16 Tons", and "Big, Bad John", and "Alley Oop!", and those Ray Stevens novelty tunes - they put me in mind of those days when pop would take us out to lunch for a burger somewhere, and then we'd go by the drug store to buy comic books, and occasionally go to a movie. Good times, way too short.
I wasn't a fan, but I really liked when he visited Mayberry. I think Andy was talking about someone else, but I still think it was some mighty fine pickin' and grinnin' whenTEF showed up.

I just found this on youtube.
Enjoy the weekend!

The lyric is actually high toned woman, but it means the same thing.
R-man: I'm sure that was just a case of inferior recording equipment.
Ted Mack. There's a name I haven't thought of in awhile!
Gregory: That's a cool musical group. Thanks for linking it.
Yeah, it was my first tape recorder, which wasn't exactly high fidelity.
However, as I upgraded my hi-fi equipment over time, my voice always stayed low-fi.

One of my favorites was "North to Alaska". I could sing every word of that one.
