Lancaster:
I don't think anyone has ever played the "Worm Song" on the air..
3:23pm
Matt from Springfield:
Daniel Blumin has played a title "The Worm Song" on 2/13/2010, but by an artist "First Lite". The title may have auto-completed, but referred to a different song.

Matt from Springfield:
@Lancaster: *However*, you said you didn't think anyone has played "the Worm Song", not Leroy Lloyd's "The Worm Song" :)

Tom:
Thanks Ted, your show on Ichiban makes Thursday come alive!
A.P. Carter standard!
I first heard that in "O Brother, Where Art Thou" and subsequently by others once I got into bluegrass. But wow, that has some authority to it, going WAY back in the Carter Family!
In fact: "In recent years, The Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia has performed a play based on A.P.'s life called "Keep On The Sunny Side". "

Matt from Springfield:
Ay, but here's the rub, he still wasn't the composer for all of his songs: "Some of the songs became so closely identified with A.P. Carter that he has been popularly, but mistakenly, credited with writing them. For example, "Keep on the Sunny Side of Life" was published in 1901 with the words being credited to Ada Blenkhorn and the music credited to Howard Entwisle."
Well, it *is* a A.P. standard, he brought it to the masses.
That was Willie Bobo's "Knock on Wood" See you next week...

Backache from The Gouster Dance!!! Almost murdered South Side Chicago early 70s. Lost SS and even taxis would not stop to pick me up.
Back in the late 1950s through to the mid- 1960s in Chicago there were two main fashions amongst African American high school pupils – you were either an Ivy Leaguer or you were a Gouster.
Gousters their look was a bit more laid back and one would imagine probably a reaction to the slightly straight-laced Ivy League look. Gousters wore their look baggy; trousers were pleated with two or three pleats below the waist, sometimes tailored (for those with a bit more cash), shirts were also baggy with long collars and often Italian knit. The look was about being cool but not flashy.
1:09pm
Ted:
Hi Richard. Thanks the background info. I didn't know what Gouster was, but the record rocks and features some crazy drumming.
