    It's good to see Freddy King and Gatemouth Brown, with "Gate" playing that white Fender Jaguar.
    Hoss Man was one of the late night guys on WLAC radio with John R. Richbourg.
    WLAC kept company to a lot of musicians riding home from work all over the South in the late 1960's.

    Louis Jordan & The Tympany Five started out in the late 1930's. Chuck Berry stole his famous Johnny B. Goode opening guitar riff from Louis' horn. Little Richard's "Keep A-Knockin'" was first a Louis Jordan & The Tympany Five number too. Louis had the line: "... I can tell you been drinkin' gin"... But Little Richard was marketing his music to a teenaged audience and wisely dropped that lyric. I'm wondering if that is the great Billy Butler with the stratocaster...? Anybody know...?

    Jack, that's the G. I. Jive
    Roodley-toot
    Jump in your suit
    Make a salute
    Boot
    After you wash and dress
    More or less
    You go get your breakfast in a beautiful little cafe they call "The Mess"
    Jack, when you convalesce
    Outta your seat
    Into the street
    Make with the feet
    Reet
    If you're a P-V-T, your duty
    Is to salute to L-I-E-you-T
    But if you brush the L-I-E-you-T
    The M-P makes you K-P on the Q-T
    This is the G. I. Jive
    Man alive
    They give you a private tank that features a little device called "fluid drive"
    Jack, after you revive
    Chuck all your junk
    Back in the trunk
    Fall on your bunk
    Clunk
    This is the G. I. Jive
