The artist that you're listening to or are in love with, they were usually listening to three or four people within the framework of the style they were in. What you're essentially tryin' to do is play every giant of country blues's music as well as them, every song, in every style. Impossible! Give it up! - Jerry Ricks, Port Townsend 97
Hi all, I merged ninodusty's thread on Arkansas Johnny Todd's performance of "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead, You Rascal, You" into the Lane Hardin Lyrics thread. All best, Johnm
The last line is "You be through making 10s and 4s"
What does "making 10s and 4s" mean?
It's a reference to the dice game craps – 10s and 4s are the hardest "points" to make in that game (as opposed to 5,6,8,9) because there are fewer ways to make those numbers on two dice.
So the implication here is that he was lucky – "making 10s and 4s" but his luck has run out.
