>>it was my cultch'rl imperatif what made me done it, yer honour<< Ya know that made me think of Long John Baldry's classic ... kinda in reverse.. :O) sweetslyrics.com You know I remember a few years ago, some funny things used to happen to me, about 1956-57. At that time, there was no blues scene or, uh, not really any kind of scene in, uh, London. I used to go out and play my guitar in the streets and sing things with a passin'the hat down uh , bars and a hat down. I remember one particular night, I was uh, playing the guitar in a little alleyway just off of Wardour street in Soho and uh, I got busted by the police. This policeman came up and dragged me and my guitar and my hat full of pennies off to the police station. Anyway, the next day I had to appear in Marlboro street police court and uh, it was quite a day. Police officer giving his evidence: "I was proceeding in a Southerly direction, milord, when I heard uh, strange sounds coming from the Wardour place, milord. A sort of boogie-woogie music was being played. On further investigation, I saw the defendant standing there with a guitar and an old hat on the floor collecting pennies. Well, I decided that uh, he was contravening a breach of the peace, there as there was a traffic jam about five miles long down on Wardour street, wondering what all the uh, fuss was about, so then I arrested the uh, defendant" "Uh, just one moment, officer. Wh-what is this boogie-woogie music here we're talking about?" "Oh, well milord", said the officer, getting out his notebook, obviously been up doing his homework, "it's a kind of jazz rhythm music peculiar to the American negro" "Oh. What was the defendant doing, uh, playing this kind of music there in Walldor street?" Anyway, I got off with a caution, a year's conditional discharge, but I'll always remember that policeman and his boogie-woogie, so don't try to lay no boogie-woogie on the king of rock and roll.
