Start Jamming...
I come from a place called Oklahoma.
I think it means home of the red man or something like that.
Right after I got out of high school, I went out to California.
I wanted to get into advertising.
Don't ask me why.
So after those advertisers hurt my feelings a couple of times, I started playing on people's records.
And one day I caught a call from Electro Records.
I went down there.
There was a young man down there wearing what they call a nudie suit.
Nudie the rodeo tailor.
It had horses and horseshoes and covered wagons and cacti and rhinestones.
All that [B] stuff.
He had a van called the Flying Burrito [G] Brothers.
[N] We became good friends.
I was getting ready to leave Burbank Airport.
Took a ride on Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs in English.
My girlfriend.
The Grams came out there and they brought me a silk, green silk top hat.
I was fond of it.
At that time, I sensed I switched to something more geographically correct.
Well, I took that out on the road on board.
We played catch with it.
Somebody sat on it.
The inside started coming out.
It said MGM 1938 Al Jolson the [G] Jazz Singer.
I was in what you might say tall cotton for a minute.
Anyway, Gram told me that I ought to sing this song.
[E] I don't believe it's his song.
[A] He told me I should sing it and so I did.
