Monkey got his tail caught up on a street car line, honey. Didn't think about it till I started twistin' mine, honey. Run back to the track, lay his head on the rail, lose his head about a little piece of tail. Oh sail, oh sail away - Funny Papa Smith, Honey Blues

Thanks to Blues Vintage, who corrected the key of "Bye, Bye, Baby" to B flat. Thanks for the catch!

Hi all,
Big Maceo recorded "Bye, Bye, Baby" in Chicago on December 14, 1941, backed by Tampa Red and an almost inaudible Alfred Elkins on imitation bass, accompanying himself on piano in B flat. Here is "Bye, Bye, Baby":



INTRO

My baby treat me so mean, I don't know right from wrong
My baby treat me so mean, I don't know right from wrong
I'm here today, but tomorrow I may be gone

I have so much trouble, until I don't know what to do
I have so much trouble, until I don't know what to do
The way you treat me, baby, is coming home to you

Because I'm dogged around, baby, and driven from door to door
Yea-eah, baby, and driven from door to door
But I raise my hand, I won't be dogged no more (Spoken: Now boy, let's get that thing!)

SOLO

So goodbye, baby, yes, I'm leavin' now
So bye-bye, baby, babe, I am leavin' now
Because you don't mean, me no good nohow

CODA

All best,
Johnm

BTW, the Jackson Fire Marshal finally confirmed that the house fire was not electrical.  The local PD were unavailable for comment on a connection between the two events.

Hi all,
Big Maceo recorded "My Last Go Round" at a session in Chicago on July 28, 1942, accompanied by Tampa Red playing slide (sparingly) in Vestapol and Clifford Jones on drums. Maceo played the piano in G. For some reason, the record was not originally issued by Bluebird and was first released in the re-issue era. Maybe it was because Maceo sang different endings to a couple of the second lines of his verses--there are no obvious glitches apart from that. Here is "My Last Go Round":



INTRO

Babe, I'm on my last go-round, and I hate to say goodbye
Babe, I'm on my last go-round, but it's time to say goodbye
Since you did what you wanta do, baby, and I guess you satisfied

Since you got me grievin', babe, and I'm scared to say goodbye
You got me grievin', baby, and I'm scared to say goodbye
Well I got to leave you, baby, and it ain't no use to cry

You started me to drinkin', baby, drinkin' both night and day
And you started me to drinkin', baby, and runnin' from town to town
You know I had a good woman, but you made her throw me down

SOLO

Hey, you made me drunk on Sunday, just to play me for your clown
Baby, you make me drunk on Sunday, just to play me for your clown
Ba', you know I meant you all the good, but you tryin' to tear me down

CODA

All best,
Johnm

Hi all,
Big Maceo recorded "Why Should I Hang Around?" at a session in Chicago on December 19, 1941 for which he was joined by Tampa Red on guitar and Alfred Elkins on imitation bass. Big Maceo accompanied himself in Bb and Tampa Red sounds as though he was accompanying him out of G position in standard tuning, capoed up. As usual, Big Maceo's singing is just great. Here is "Why Should I Hang Around?":



INTRO

I just don't know, what's this all about? (Spoken: What is it all about, boys?)
I just don't know, what's this all, all about?
The woman I love, is trying to put me out

She says she didn't want me, why should I hang around?
Hey-ey, why should I hang around?
And that if I hang around, I would be jailhouse bound

I love that woman, more than she will ever know (Spoken: Yes, I love her!)
Hey-ey baby, more than you will ever know
But if you drive me away, I won't be back no more

I stole that woman, stole her from my best friend
Yeah-eah, see-ee from my best friend
But that old fool's so darn lucky, he's 'bout to get her back again

CODA

All best,
Johnm

Hi all,
I don't think we should publicly post donor's names unless we post the name of every donor--just my opinion.
All best,
Johnm

I did it as a FYI, John, as a follow up to eric's post. The list of donors is posted at the GoFundMe page. However, since you don't want any individual names posted here, I deleted my post.
