THE REAL THING

These two songs were on two successive 45s released in 1954. I dig them. I got nothing else. Just digging on these two, over and over. Because I feel like it. I'm a wild man. I didn't wash the dishes.

I’m not kidding here Tom; this morning I was mindlessly going through the pockets of a jacket belonging to our youngest delinquent, Kirill (7), and what do I find?

A selection of small change, a snub-nosed (toy) revolver and a pimped-up rolling dice (red with gold markings)!

Confrontation: "You shakin’ down fellow secondgraders and gamblin’ in the
schoolyard son?! You runnin’ some sort of racket?!»…

«NO, I’M NOT!»… Total wide-eyed denial of course – said he didn’t know what the word «gambling» meant. Yeah right.

Well, we both know what the prospect for third grade is, don’t we; Wine, Whisky and Women, that’s what!

Are this singer featured here and Little Walter the SAME? I think not. But, I may be wrong.....

Espen, Here's a YIKES! for you: A 12 year old kid here in the US was in a park across the street from his house with a toy pistol. A concerned citizen called the cops saying just that, and reported it as a toy gun. The police dispatcher relayed the report to the local cops, without the bit about it being a toy. So the responding cops pulled up and shot and killed the kid TWO SECONDS after pulling up.
