Boy, that was a lot of different kinds of stuff. It was a great show, though. Hope I never have to go to prison!
That was a great show, cliff. I especially liked the Bessie Smith song, and I usually don’t like her stuff!
I could have done an entire show about jail and prison using just Merle Haggard songs.
I saw Merle, probably in like 79 or 80. Man, that was something else!
RIP – Bobby Womack
