PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: l don't know what I'm
gonna start thinking bout befo |
sets down in one of my favorite
spots for my feesh and beer, here
of-lately deys been talkin bout
maxim moving picture outta
Porgy and Bess, dat great folks
opera bout Aine Haggar's Chillun,
and when | set down for my feesh
and beer this Satdee mite started
thinkin bout one of them songs
in Porgy and Bess called ut amt
necessarily so" where they sings
bout what the Bible says of Bro.
Jonah lived in de belly of whale,
jess as soon as l got good start
on my repass that tune starts buzz
ing in my mind, and | imagine |
sees old Sporting Life" sliding
up and down the stage cunningly
casting his doubts that at amt
necessarily So" there was one thing
| used to read in the Bible and
found myself saying it amt neces-
sarily so, and that is the place
where the Bible says that the world
is gonna be destroyed by fire and
birthstone raining down from hea-
ven One thing now though
when I start hearing that tune
and seeing cid Sporting Life" slid
ing up and down the stage casting
his doubts with at amt necessarily
So" don't be thinking lack | used
to think. What's done changed
me is what I've read in the news
papers first bout 'em shooting
them atom bombs and the fire balls
rolling in de sky, and the earth
and everything round melting and
the heat too hot to be measured
by mans measuring rod, and now
dem sputniks up there in de Hea-
vens, with nobody known 'xactly
what deys doing and gwinna do.
When ever I hear dat tune buzzing
in my mind, and start thinking of
old Sporting Life" sliding up and
down the stage singing at amt nee
essarily So" and casting his doubts,
| still start thinkin bout Jonah in
de belly of de whale and the
world being destroyed by fire and
birthstone raining down from de
heavens and maybe starts
humming de tune little myself,
but now overtime, adds two more
words lack dis at Amt
NECESSARILY so" Amt 1t?
OLD TYNE PARISH STREET
Err PASSES: For all the years that
| can remember Albert Crawford, |
called Rabbit" by his friends, was |
a waiter at the Edwards hotel, in !
fact he was there and saw it grow |
from a rambling wooden building |
to its present greatness. He worked |
there until almost the day he died /
several weeks ago now, and was
buried before most of his friends !
knew of his passing. Mr.. Rabbit |
had a host of friends among those |
who worked at one time or another !
at the Edwards Hotel, many of |
whom are now living in many sec
tions of the country, and | know
like me, they will learn with re-
gret, his passing.
WHAT THE SHOUTING is |
ABOUT: The crowd that hangs
around the corner Of Parish and
Hamilton during the daylight hours
have been doing lotta hailing and
shouting during the past few days
and what they're so happy |
about is . the lights are turned
on nights across the river again. |!
WHO WAS ATTRACTING AT
TENTION: If you had been down |
on the ole stroll the other day and
saw them doing it you would have !
known that all the hep cats were |
looking at them two young ladies |
wearing the red hooded coats.
WEEKLY QUOTATION: "In |!
great contests each part claims to |
act in accordance with the will of |
God. Both may be, and one must
be wrong. God cannot be for and
against the same thing at the same
time. Abraham Lincoln.
