Some more good ol' blues and jook songs. In this episode, Zora Neale Hurston sings "Ever Been Down" (collected in 1933), an old blues song..."been down so long the down don't bother me"...now that's a lifetime of the blues. If y'all ain't figured it out yet, I'm a fan of the blues. Sometimes you have to try to sing the pain away. The second song, "Mama Don't Want No Peas, No Rice". It's a catchy lil' carribbean/Bahaman tune about living with a drunk woman. The third song, "Tampa" is just a trip. She makes Tampa sound stank in this song...but it's still funny. Hope that y'all dig em. Peace.
