Stagger Lee
Paranormal Adept
Thanks Gene and Chris for asking my question- We just purchased a "Tablet" for the house and I am able to catch up on shows anywhere around the house instead of being confined to our computer room.
I didn't want to kick up an old thread last posted in June, so I started one here.
Gene, you mention the old tune Stagger Lee from back in the 50's. I don't know the exact year that song was created, but there have been many different versions through out the years. My fav version done by J Garcia, tells a story about the old west, Stagger Lee being a big mean fellow who lost his hat in a card game to another fellow named Billy DeLyan- rather than turn over his hat, he pulls out a pistol and kills DeLyan. DeLyans wife demands justice from the town LawDogs, who are afraid of Stagger Lee. So she borrows a pistol, goes down to the pub and sits next to Stagger lee, who is unaware of the widow sitting next to him. As he goes to light a ciggarette, she pulls out her gun and shoots him between the legs- Stagger Lee is brought to the courthouse and hung for his crime. I'm not familiar with the 50's version of this tune.. but it has always had a ring of justice being carried out, by those we least expect. Or at least the whole, what comes around goes around thing going on in that song.
Anyway, thanks for the show, and questions- enjoyed it very much.
