LIGHTNIN’ SLIM

“The way I used to get Lightnin’ Slim to cut blues was this. Two or three days before I’d call him for a session I’d give his woman $25 to give him hell. If at the session he really sang the blues, because that woman had given them to him, I’d give her another $25. If she really made a good job of it, I’d give her the prettiest dress she’d ever seen on top of that!”
