I (a bonafide palefaced honky) play Taj Mahal’s “Cakewalk Into Town” for mixed age crowds at many open-mic nights, to great applause. I always smile a bit when I get to the “stealing chickens mama, from the rich folks’ yards...” passage, and once goofed up and sang it as “... THE WHITE FOLKS’ YARDS...” with no blowback. Lucky, I guess.
Loved Taj Mahal— highly talented! This one- and btw, good on you!
