    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    From the 90's and maybe even better today. More Fleck and The Flecktones featuring Victor Wooten, a true god of BASS and his brother on synthdrums. Enjoy. More banjo!

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    Bela Fleck and The Flecktones Please patience your way through the rather long intro. Now this is banjo I like! With a steel drum. Oh my!

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    I'm truly sorry that I betrayed your trust PorPorMe. Part of me knew that you had sent the message that you are on the way out to me alone. Daniel speaks of life and death matters far, far better than I do. I wanted you to have the benefit of his wisdom. I am so unhappy that you are leaving us...

    It's white out there in the woods...

    Please do stay in touch. We had only a very slight addition of snow in Low Land ville. Mixed with rain now, ugh. More to freeze in the below freezing overnights forecast for a long time to come.

    Panic mode!

    Oh well---it's ALL a racket! The window wiper blades don't last at all. Someone figured out how to make them MORE destructible by smog instead of less. Thank you Masters of the Universe!

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    Now for something very sad! (Crikey, this doesn't look right at all. I'm sorry) PorPorMe is in his last days. He is one tough dude and isn't complaining about the pain and the fact that he is dieing. He's in a hospice and has the infinitely heavy fate of dealing with Stage 4 cancer. Beyond...

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    No sound is greatly hard to live with. Thanks to Daniel and Patti (Thank You!) I now have high quality speakers for my computer. The ones built in to the monitor were terrible.

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    I identify with the feeling. This appears to be a 78 record. Highly unusual in modern collections.

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    A great song straight from the heart. "Love" is not always kind. Perhaps Love without the quotation marks can be.

    That song MUST be followed by this one!

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    I should have heard this before but haven't. Mark Knopfler is a great, huge talent. I don't think I noticed that the sound of an electric guitar immediately grabs a song and becomes the dominant instrumental voice in a way that an acoustic guitar doesn't oftimes. Plain and simple fact that...

    How can one argue with Harry Houdini?

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    The Dead deserve more credit than I somewhat grudgingly tend to award them. My best friend's son was a Dead Head for a number of years late in their career. Unfortunately I can't stand this kid for he was a sweet child who became a true monster among men. Must it always be something?

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    This is a complicated one. "Pty" can be used in Australia or South Africa. South Africa brings back the memory of our own hideous history of apartheid, and come to think of it, Australia's too. Now also practiced in Israel-with a vengeance.

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    You bring up a harsh truth. Failing the test of time is not something one wants to be said about their art, that's for certain.

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    The construction of the song seems...hackneyed, imho. Yet the lyrics are quite worth listening to.

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    I remember this tune. But the brilliance of the story told by the words to it escaped me. Thank you for posting it!

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    Don't recall hearing this before. The lyrics are great. The song? It's all right.

    Of race and racism or why did they have to go and make me feel so all alone

    I agree, it's correct to blame our Southern history. However, we had slavery in the North for 400 years as well. While it's convenient and easy to blame the South, we are ALL guilty. How many times I prayed that history was reversible and if I only could go back in time and murder every slave...
