Thread Name: Lyr Add: songs by Uncle Dave Macon
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: songs by Uncle Dave Macon
To our last guest: You're right. As it explains above, Macon recorded KEEP MY SKILLET GOOD AND GREASY twice. He made the first recording in June 1924, and it was released on the Vocalion label; the second, made in January 1935, was released on the Bluebird label.

I believe I have listened to both versions on Spotify. One version, which I suppose is the first, is 2:32 in length, and he sings "There's a nigger on the log." On the other, which is 2:44 in length, he sings "There's a man on the log."

If you want to sing this, please use the "man" version.
