George Jackson -- "Greasy Two by Four"

 

 

Now, what in the world, is a greasy two by four? Is it a gun? Does anyone know?

Hello Inge,

I hope everything is going well for you.
A two-by-four is a length of untrimmed timber with a cross section that measures 2 inches by 4 inches.
On the other hand Howlin' wolf recorded a song named 'Forty-Four'.A forty-four is a Magnum revolver.

Friendly greetings,
Marc

Hi Marc!

So good to hear from you. And thanks for the info.
I am doing well here in Texas. It’s been terribly hot for a few days — going on 40 C.
But things are getting back to normal again.

Is that Southern Soul Group still active?

Hi Inge,

Unfortunately the 'Southern Soul Forum' closed down a few years ago.Also friggin Yahoo deleted all data.

I've been reading:

'Going To Cincinnati-A History of the Blues in the Queen City' by Steven C. Tracey
'New York City Blues' by Larry Simon & John Broven
'Thought We Were Writing The Blues But They Called It Rock 'n' Roll-The Life & Music of Rose Marie McCoy' by Arlene Corsano
'Meet Me With Your Black Drawers On-My Life in Music' by Jeannie Cheatham.

Mandatory stuff I've been watching:

I’ve got an email from the group telling me Yahoo! would terminate all its groups. I suggested they may look into creating their own forum with proboards. It’s a great platform. I used to be a member of Temptsinfo.com, a forum that used proboards. The message board is not very active anymore. Can’t say that about you, though. You are quite active reading about and listening to music *smiles.
I will check the links and post them on SOTS.

Thanks a million.

Inge
