Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

My memory works like a Will o' the wisp when it comes to songs, I'm sorry but the song your post refers to is lost in the mist.
I just KNEW there had to exist such a song!! I hope it's a good one!!


Probably worth your having a look/listen... I'm just not a "New age" kinda guy. ":O}

I was fortunate enough to have a 6th grade teacher that could and would sing to us
He favored Hobo songs, but dipped often into pure Americana S.Foster was a favorite.



 
John Renbourn. From what? the 60's?
Been in my life since I was 20.

He has affinity for music made of Guitar strings.



So after 50 years of listening I finally get to see a picture of his face. Big smiles for me!!
 


Love y'all, ain't nothin' you can do about it

Ain't tryin' to make excuses but then
Just wanna be there for y'all as a friend
Your pa did a lotta work on hisself
Just know I love y'all more than anyone else

[Chorus]
Tell me 'bout your desires right now
Don't trip on loose wires
I'll show you how
My babies, I wish I'd never made you blue
My children, my angels
I'm talkin' to you

One is too many
Billions ain't never enough
Don't take the easy road
There's no shortcuts
Spirit kingdom do
What we can't do for ourselves
Don't put nothin' down
Without lovin' everybody else
 
Now that you mention it George, yes a bit of Otis seems to live on here.":O}


I remember "Dock of the Bay" as his last effort. Do I have this right? Sadly, he bought a light twin airplane. These are probably the most dangerous type of plane to fly. They give the novice the idea of extra security with the extra engine, but they are extraordinarily dangerous to fly. There's a brief time period during takeoff when the loss of full power from one engine literally means "You die now! Enjoy!"

An expert hand is needed at the controls, the flying license for these things should come with a "Warning, warning, Warning!!"
An overconfident newly licensed pilot is just what these planes Don't Need.
 
Just to put a smile on your faces!
note the classic Fats keyboard intro, i love the way he tickles those keys! ":O}


Never heard this one before, thanks Daniel. Saw him live at Bumbershoot once--What a Treat! Bumbershoot tickets tickets for one day cost $109.00 this year. I imagine this will cut down the crowd size considerably.

One heck of a tune, thank you for posting it Dan.

What a genius with the guitar, I barely remembered his name, tbh. Thank you Dan, this is mighty fine!
 


If You All Get to Heaven

If you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer for my mother
Say a prayer for my father
Say a prayer for my brother
But most of all please say a prayer for me
Words of a feather
All flock together
Going round and round
A soul is astral travelling
Watching human motion
Wasting thy seed upon the ground
Discreet intermissions
Coroners petitions
Their work goes into the sand
Voices from the middle
Are gaining very little
It's getting all out of hand
If you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer -volace menteh-
Say a prayer for food and plenty
Say a prayer -sehr sensible-
But most of all please say a prayer for me
If you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer for my camel
As I ride through the desert
Say a prayer for the rumours
The rumours of war
The last moody summer
Was autumn in covers
Bespeaks of dogs in the dark
A perfect reunion
Of bloody communion
Where do we find
Noah's ark?
A thousand words or more
Seep through the floor
And then take root in the soil
Growing trees of doubt
Helpless people shout
Until their blood starts to boil
If you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer for Asmodeus
Say a prayer for Belial
Say a prayer for his denial
But most of all you gotta say a prayer for me
If you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer for St. Religion
Say a prayer for blood baptism
Say a prayer for it's division
But most of all please say a prayer for me
Old men's cigars puff up the wars
To protect their ****-ups again
Young men must die!
To keep the old ones alive
And to prove they're studs once again
It you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer for the people
Who will kill for cross and steeple
Say a prayer for righteous bullets
But most of all please say a prayer for me
If you all get to Heaven
Say a prayer for my mother
Say a prayer for my father
Say a prayer for my brother
But most of all you gotta say a prayer for me

Quite a song! Like the star spangled onion domes too.
 
I tried another, this one with lyrics, give it another go and see if it happens for you.


Yay! Adding "lyrics' brought me to a working version of the song on Youtube. Thanks for the suggestion Dan! Awfully hard to go wrong with this group!

Paul Simon was very shrewd with his choices of African voices and instrument players for Graceland. They made the LP, he's only featured now and again. He had the unmitigated crust to cheap out and not use a pedal steel guitar player for his performance of the track "Graceland" in Central Park.

What a piker, the steel guitar MAKES this song. Period.
