Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well, Irma Thomas had a local hit with "Wish Someone Would Care" in 1964. She also did the original version of "Time Is On My Side" that the Stones covered.
The big civil rights anthem of the soul era was Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come."
That delta region was particularly fertile for the variety of its music. If you draw a circle that covers both Memphis and Little Rock you're going to have musicians as varied as Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Muddy Waters, Conway Twitty, Charlie Rich and Justin Timberlake all born within that circle.
On the blues side Sonny Boy Williamson played regularly on the King Biscuit Flour Hour.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I just heard The Decembrists used in an AT&T ad. Huh.

I remember that Soulsville book being pretty dry, Barb.

Ann, that's a ferret.
For research on the civil rights movement in Mississippi in the earlier part of the '60s, Anne Moody's Coming of Age in Mississippi has the perspective of a female black activist college student.
Irma Thomas's version of "Time Is on My Side" was actually the B-side of the lovely "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is." Which would be a great trigger for memories of a love affair.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Too bad, Barb, if you were in the Carolinas you could use Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts.

Ah jeez, the "My Ding-a-Ling" group! I think my father-in-law still has a 45 of that somewhere. A few cocktails too many and he starts singing it.
