LINER NOTES
ELECTRIC BLUE WATERMELON
It was a dream in a magic time - A band of musicians, dancing girls, and ancient blues masters gathering
in celebration of life. world Boogie - an idea born high on a river bluff in the shadow of the pyramid under
the rising star of Deltarado. Wise men and fools sat side by side in the pantheon of cosmic Boogaloo. They
sand great mother Missifrika up from Bullfrog bottoms over the Big Rock Candy Mountain, Old Sam Hess and the outlaw
phantom of Jack's Boat Dock out where the monkey grass grows.
The princes slip away called to an unseen evening - only forgotten sons of the Shady Lady lay asleep all up in Sonny's bed.
Out across the night there is no past - nothing is gone. Spirits come back like Old Tom. Time is all around, singing
us on - behind us pushing, in front pullin like a mule puls a plow. The drums call down the timeless tabernacle as endless
snake dancers circle the fire and parade into the shadows following the Goat Boy.
Amen.
Little Lorenzo (the rubberlegger)
