It is a Tampa Red song. Doc
MacLean [Toronto bluesman] and I
traveled and played together as kids, as
The Barbeque Boys. When I was 15,
we went to visit Tampa Red at a nursing
home in Chicago. He wrote this
song with Georgia Tom when they
were a duo. Tom then quit the blues
and wrote songs as Thomas A. Dorsey,
the most famous gospel composer of
all time. I only sing a couple of verses
of it as that is all I know, but we wanted
to play something in that groove.
