Arhoolie still had copies of Mike Russo’s LP a few years ago. Might be worth contacting them if interested. It’s a great LP.

I first heard this tune on a Jim Kweskin Jug Band LP and searched for a copy of the original for a long time, and finally got a cassette from the son of the guy who recorded it in the 50's. Anyway, Guabi Guabi:
Thank you, Eric. Jim Kweskin and Geoff Muldaur also recorded it (as "Gwabi Gwabi") on their "Penny's Farm" album that you mentioned earlier.

If we're on African tangent, I've long thought Machanic Manyuruke deserves more recognition than he's had. This track is off what I think is his only commercial release outside Africa, issued by Cooking Vinyl in 1989 (despite the label name, it was on CD -- the first CD I ever bought).
Hi all,
Here is one from the Kentucky Ramblers. Have you ever heard a song phrased like this before? Me neither! All best, Johnm eric
I don't have the greatest ear and I have to say I don't quite understand what they're doing in that song. They apparently recorded a fair number of sides.

The tune is real similar to Budded Roses which was fairly popular in the 1920s and 1930s.
Hi all,
For the benefit of those who are interested in such things, here is how the phrasing works out for "Little Mamie" by the Kentucky Ramblers. The phrasing in the instrumental intro is slightly different from that of the verses. The intro is phrased like so, with the first measure in each of the first three lines in 3/2 (boom-chang, boom-chang, boom-chang) followed by two measures in 2/2 (boom-chang, boom-chang). In the last line of the intro, all four measures are in 2/2. In the sung verses, the last line is phrased like the three other lines, with an opening measure in 3/2 and two measures in cut time, 2/2. So it is that the song begins each line with a measure in 3, followed by two measures in 2. As Mel Allen used to say, "How about that!" All best, Johnm
