training that we got back in the
DAYS afore surrender was the
training that put in us that idea
that "Cullud Folks jest ain muffin,
nohow," which is an expression
that you are likely to hear, just
as soon, if not sooner, on one OF
our college campuses, or in the
pool rooms, juke joints, cafes, bar
Der shops, or on the street corners,
here, there, and yon, when ever
the circumstance come about where
Amt Haggar's Chillun feels the

on singing together until they get !
themselves "heard" and they'll be
gone to the big time and to
that Jackson College teacher I'd
say, lady, paying audiences are
long for the stage" personality
