Who's shakin?         LOL.   Excellent playing, Nigel.  Sounds like the man to me.   Good lesson too.

R.L. Burnside killed a man at a dice game, was convicted of murder and imprisoned on Parchman Farm.   His boss at the time arranged hisrelease him after six months becuasue he needed Burnside's skills as a tractor driver.

 

R.L, said,   "I didn't mean to kill nobody. I just meant to shoot the sonofabitch in the head and two times in the chest. Him dying was between him and the Lord.
