I’ve been listening old blues records
lately.
Yesterday, I heard
Estella “Mama” Yancey say this line:
“I’m
gonna write him a letter and throw it over his fence”
It's a line from the song "Four O'Clock
Blues."
Interesting idea.
I might try it one of these days.
(Mama Yancey is, of
course, accompanied by the great Jimmy Yancey. Wikipedia says "part of
Yancey's distinctive style was that he played in a variety of keys but always ended
every song in E flat." Wow. I might try that one day,
too.)
