PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: When I used 70 20 to
church when I was . boy often
times they used TO sing one Of
the old songs entitled, HE Includ-
ed Me-" which you don't hear now
much which il because I reckon
since they started playing church
songs to blues tunes in the
churches the music maksrs' have
found it kinda hard to put church
songs like "He Included Ne" to
blues tunes. I was setting down
eating my fish and drinking my
beer while listening to us men,
bers Of the Tribe o Haggar talk
ing about fust one thing and an
utter and ! noted two things that
amt been 50 visible before among
members Of the tribe, firstly Aine
Haggar's Chilluns beginning to
look and talk more serious lack
than they used to when talking
and thinking, second, in every
thing that they talk about cept'n
"come on less pitch-in and git
one" and some few other strictly
personal matters If you listen close,

. line from that old song "When
The Lord Said Who-so-never" (as
