'Race' records of the 1920's revealed only too obviously that the chastity projected by spirituals or groups like the Fisk Jubilee Singers did not truly reflect black social values, any more than Pat Boone represents the typical American male - Steve Calt's notes, Bo Carter, Banana In Your Fruit Basket, Yazoo

Glad you enjoyed that, Mark. I really dig Sam Chatmon, such a great singer.
Fun fact; His birth name was Vivian Chatmon but he changed it to Sam 'cause he thought it sounded too much like woman.
I don't believe his claim that he was the half brother of Charley Patton.

I gotta keep listening to that 7nd verse.

I hear "swear" now too, Harry, and I do think it sounds more like "town's" than "time's". Good work!
