The blues - that is a feeling that makes you feel very bad. The blues'll give you sickness - from there's a pain you've never had. Now here's the way the blues go - it'll jump on you early in the morning. It'll worry you 'til you go to sleep. Then after you fall to sleep, you get to dreamin' them bad old dreams and it give you nothing but the bad old midnight creeps - Lightnin' Hopkins', spoken intro to Blues Is A Feeling
I'm gonna need help with this one and I don't just mean the question marks.
Paul Geremia - My Kinda Place
Recorded 1986
Paul Geremia - Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica Piano - Del Long
INTRO
My kinda place is a back street bar, with a low-down piano and a good guitar, some Folks like me that ain’t got, nothin' to lose, ‘cept a little bit of time, and a whole lot of blues REFRAIN: Uh huh, you can’t scandalize my name
It might be in Chicago or, old Santa Fe, might be in Saint Louis, or Philadelphia Might be in Baltimore, or Providence, go for, lookin’ for answers, nothin’ makes any sense REFRAIN: Uh huh, you can’t scandalize my name
Don’t bring too much money or your, good advice, they like it like it is, there're in a paradise Bound to find someone'll listen to your woes, if you're down at the heels they'll put you, up on your toes REFRAIN: Uh huh, you can’t scandalize my name (Spoken: Take it, Del!)
PIANO SOLO
Well, it might bring you up and it might bring you down, it’s just another stop on life’s merry-go-round You might fall off, and you might get hurt you can, try another pony when you're, shed of the dirt REFRAIN: Uh huh, you can’t scandalize my name (Spoken: I'll take it now.)
HARMONICA SOLO
It’s a home for the homesick, the saints and the sinners, it’s a temporary shelter for the, losers and the winners, and It don’t matter which, one or the other when you, hear, "Last call.", whiskey is your lover REFRAIN: Uh huh, you can’t scandalize my name
GUITAR/HARMONICA SOLO
So don’t you criticize them folks that might gather at, my kinda place ‘cause nothing looks sadder than a Self-righteous soul, who falls off his high horse, winds up stupefied at the, watering trough REFRAIN: Uh huh, you can’t scandalize my name

I would need some help with the lyrics of Paul Geremia's version of She can move it just right. That I could hear so far is (it's really the 2nd line what's missing):
I met a little girl down in Dixieland
She can move it just right she can move it just right It will make you crazy she moves it just right
She’s a very nice girl don’t talk too much (When she) comes to lovin’ she’s got a wonderful touch She moves...
How's that honey I don't know she do it man but she's just got that thing she just moves she just moves me she just movet it just right
Now you won't see her come by my place I go down there most every day She moves...
She’s a very nice girl don’t talk too much (When she) comes to lovin’ she’s got a wonderful touch She moves...
Thanks in advance

And going back to "My Kinda Place," a couple suggestions:
3.1 they like it is, THEY'RE in a paradise – I think is what's intended 3.2 ...someone'LL listen to your woes, if YOU'RE down at the heels THEY'LL PUT YOU on your toes
I would need some help with the lyrics of Paul Geremia's Slidell Blues. What I could hear so far is as follows, Italic indicates text that I am not sure, Red indicates missing texts:
It’s raining mama but sun is shining bright it’s shining bright Ah sun is shining bright if I keep on walking I’ll be in old New Orleans town tonight
I missed the truck driver wants you let me ride on the blind want to let me ride the blind I want to let me ride on the blind They get me down to the waters, get me Slidell not be just fine
And it’s raining mama but sun is shining bright it’s shining bright Ah shining through the rain I’m gonna get on down New Orleans boy we’re gonna go insane
Spoken words
Slidell is in a low land there’s waterline all around water all around Ah waterline all around catfish and ? chasing me babe chase me to another town
And it’s raining mama the sun is shining bright it’s shining bright Ah sun is shining bright if I keep on walking I’ll be in old New Orleans town tonight
A big storm blowing ‘cross the Gulf of Mexico big storm blowing ‘cross Big storm blowing big cloud rolling coming up that highway takes me where I’m going
And it’s raining mama but sun is shining bright it’s shining bright Ah shining through the rain I’m gonna get on down New Orleans boy gonna go insane
It’s raining mama but the sun is shining bright it’s shining bright Ah sun is shining bright if I keep on walking I’ll be in old New Orleans town tonight
Hi cpazmandi, I think I can help you with a couple of places. In verse 2: Hey Mr. truckdriver, won't you let me ride on the blinds, won't you let me ride the blinds? I want you to let me ride on the blinds You get me down to New Orleans, we'll get to Slidell and I'll be just fine
Spoken: Gonna go down New Orleans, catch Sweet Emma's New Orleans Jazz Band down there, with Big Jim Robinson on the slide trombone. Little of old Babe Stovall
Well, Slidell is in a lowland, there's water lyin' all around, water all around Ah, water lyin' all around Catfish and minnows are chasin' me, baby, chasin' me to another town
Well there's a big storm blowin', 'cross the Gulf of Mexico, big storm blowin' 'cross there Big storm blowin', big clouds a-rollin' Comin' up that highway, takes me where I'm goin'
All best, Johnm
