about

Ed is playing the rhythm guitar here. This was a blues tune that he “knew”. I am singing in a faux blues voice, a la Al Jolson or Leon Redbone. Did we have a lyric sheet? Probably not, it sounds like I’m making up stuff off-the-cuff. Ed said it was a Big Bill Broonzy song and that’s how we credited it, but, in retrospect, it appears to have no real connection to the Broonzy song “Long Tall Mama”. My lyrics include a lot of blues clichés that can be found all over the pantheon of the blues. The last line, “If she wants to kiss you, Brother, Beware!” is straight from a Louis Jordan song (“Brother Beware”). This originally appeared on the cassette release "Sunday Monday Or Always!" and was credited to the faux-group The Have Mersey Beats.
