      Translation "to enter the door for the fight you need to pay (5c). Old men don't pay at the door" it's a song about underground fights or the underground fighting scenes all over Gauteng (South African province). If your an elder or a regular you don't pay at the door.

    This is still one heck of a ride for me...to this day. I remember when I introduced this song to my band members when I was in my second year at University Of Cape Town...it was 26 years ago...they were all confused, but boy did it catch fire...Just yesterday, 11 December 2021 we tore the air with the performance that echoed ENCORE at the end of our concert...!!!

      @@mondlingubane5963 this resonates with me too. I think jazz is too mature for children to understand. I used to not like jazz in general when I was young. Also the fact that it was played on Sunday (Monday would be school didn’t help). As I have grown older I appreciate it so much
