15 Minutes of Filth & Depravity

Without further ado, I present to you: Jelly Roll Morton's, Make Me A Pallet On The Floor. There is a LOT I could say about this track, but half the fun of this song is not knowing what you are getting into until it's too late. So if you want to spoil the spontaneousness click here. Otherwise, listen to the song then click the "the review" link below.

Liza Jane

Damn me, I had the post all typed up and hit the little red x and lost it. The gist of it was: there is this story about a girl named, Liza Jane. I knew about the Huey Smith version, then discovered there was also a Bob Wills version, then discovered there must be 100s of versions, a couple of which I had lying around. So here they are.
