Yep...... it's definitely "fillet Gumbo"
I hope that song is cleared from my head when I wake up in the morning........
I still don't know what a "fillet gumbo" is.......... is it a breakfast item?

Terry Cola? How could I have been so STUPID!!! Cherry cola here, as it was in the reprints, after being threatened by Coca-Cola. I have the original, which says Coca-Cola.

Fish gumbo. Common Southern dish, especially around New Orleans. Aha! of course, a fillet of fish! I know that a gumbo is a fish dish but wondered what a "billy gumbo" was..... maybe a goat dish...... "fillet gumbo" makes sense but only if eaten on the "Bayou". If you were in a land locked Goat rich country then "Billy Gumbo" would be the order of the day..... it was an easy mistake Dale

Do you still have the beard Vallejos? I basically said "f**k it!" four days ago in the shower and refused to shave...... it's a laborious / repetitive daily chore and I'm sick of it. I now have 4 days of growth on my face and look like an old school tramp..... the growth is mostly grey (salt and pepper) and the texture is more akin to barbed wire than smooth and silky. My question is........ is a beard actually MORE time consuming than a daily shave? I'm thinking along the lines of upkeep of said beard, it's easy enough not shaving and letting the hair grow BUT I need to know the ins and outs of beard maintenance before committing fully to this. Any tips most welcome. Mike.

I don't know exactly when it was, perhaps 1948-50, when Hank was invited to play at a big venue in NYC (Carnegie Hall?), and the media played it up as "famous hillbilly imvited to a sophisticated New York venue". The media figured he'd be laughed out of town. But when they started playing, they brought the house down. The people in attendance were falling all over themselves in amazement, to see these hillbillys playing like the best tuned violin and string players at the Met. It's in the liner notes to one of his compilations.

My all-time favourite mis-heard lyric, was my daughter's back in the day when I could force feed her Bobby D: "The ants are my friends... ".

I'm still around. I haven't been dabbling much with audio much lately, I still blow the cobwebs out of the speakers now and again, but haven't picked up a soldering iron for a while. Owen! Long time no see man, glad all is well with you sir! Seems to be pretty much the same story, a loss of interest in something that was once a passion...... DIY has definitely taken a dive. We are almost force fed cheap Chinese electronics these days and the passion to "improve" on home grown products has become a thing of the past, it's quite sad but indicative of the age we are living in. Vinyl anybody? Not many........... Mobile phone as part of your "home" system? Pretty much everybody. I was in the bike shop today and, for some strange reason, the conversation went from "stretched bike chains" to the lyrics of a Carpenter's song........ I stood my ground and said it was "Billy Gumbo" and was told that I was wrong, there was no such lyric in the song "Jambalaya"..... I did a youtube in the shop and they were all like "f**k me, you're right"........ "it is Billy Gumbo"!!!! Mike (another Mike) said "by the way, that phone sounds great"........ eh? it sounds like SHIT!!!!! that's the 4th time I have been told that my phone sounds great so there's a pattern here...... 2 pence a pop phone speakers do not sound great / they will never sound great....... they will only ever sound absolute shite at the very best!! Anyhoo........ they were all congratulating me on my "Billy Gumbo" knowledge and admitting defeat...... I was like "I know my music, even stuff from the Carpenters, I'm not often wrong" etc. WELL......... It just goes to show...... I got home double checked to find the exact words are: "Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo" OMG! That's almost as embarrassing as finding out (about 10 years ago) that the Kinks were singing "Cherry Cola" and NOT "Terry Cola" (Lola) as I had believed for many years You can imagine my embarrassment...... "Who's Terry Cola?" What do you mean? "The geezer the Kinks are singing about" No no...... it's Cherry Cola, not Terry Cola. Anyhoo....... off to Google a Fillet Gumbo (whatever a fillet of Gumbo is)....... weird, I still think it's Billy Gumbo.... what do you think?

This is a great post, I think Karen is sadly missed, the only girl I can listen to singing her songs is in the link, as she in reality won Eurovision this year she is now getting noticed after a long hard road for her. If yuou want to know more do some web research, you will be surprised. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj5d7myK4Ho
