Where you been? - Carl Martin's response to Jack Hansen's observation that he had never seen a mandolin with the pairs strung in octave courses as they were on Carl's

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. Re-Listening, I really hear "town" and "swear"
Well, now I ain’t gon’ holler, town’s too small, if you don't catch me, woman, swear that's all I hear "swear" now too, Harry, and I do think it sounds more like "town's" than "time's". Good work!
