Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kokomo Blues (Mississippi Fred McDowell)
Nice to revisit this old thread (now I'm nearly 40 years married, still)! Despite all the erudite explanation for "eleven light" city. I confess to invoking the "folk process" and using "love-light" (in the red-light sense)as it fits the context that Kokomo is a scene of danger and misbehaviour in the eyes of innocent country visitors from Como or Rockville.
