Greetings! This post serves as an announcement on Mudcat of my new blog:

Pancocojams is an eclectic mix of information, comments, and videos about the histories, cultures, and customs of African Americans & other People of Color. The name "pancocojams" reflects this site's wide range of topics. The name "pancocojams" also reflects this blog's connection to my website cocojams

Examples of posts that are featured on Pancocojams are:

Several of the posts that already have been added to Pancocojams refer to Mudcat Discussion Forum itself and/or to specific Mudcat threads or to a mudcat member or members. In my opinion, these references are basically favorably.

Pancocojams posts may also contain content that I posted on Mudcat

I never read a post of yours that didn't educate, inform andor entertain. Congratulations to you.

I tried to post to Pancocojams and it didn't take. What am I doing wrong?

There is also an anonymous option that doesn't need a url. Of course, if you post as anonymous, you can sign your tag name or real name at the end of that post.

Thanks to all those who have visited my Pancocojams blog. Special thanks to Bruce for adding a comment to a post on that blog.

My latest post is Bald Headed Women

That post includes comments about a fashion trend among a small number of African American women of voluntarily wearing their hair bald or very closely cropped to the scalp. That post also includes the lyrics of Bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins' song "Bald Headed Woman" and a YouTube video (a soundclip with photographs) of Lightnin Hopkins singing this song. Other videos featured on that post are one of Benin, West Africa vocalist Angelique Kidjo (who either wears her hair closely cropped or bald) and Nigeria, West African singer 2face Idibia whose video "African Women" includes a woman with a bald head.

Do you know other songs about bald headed women? If so, please share them on http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/ or on this thread.

Thanks again!

Here's the lyrics to a Bald Headed Woman song that was just sent to me:


I don't want no bald headed woman,
She too mean, lord, lordy well she too mean
I don't want no bald headed woman,
She too mean, lord, lordy well she too mean

I don't want no sugar in my coffee,
Make me mean lord, lordy well it make me mean
I don't want no sugar in my coffee,
Make me mean lord, lordy well it make me mean

I got a bulldog he weigh five hundred
In my back yard lord, lordy in my back yard
When he bark he call like thunder,
In my back yard well, lordy in my back yard

I don't want no cold iron shackles
'Round my legs, lord, lordy well a round my legs.
I don't want no cold iron shackles
'Round my legs, lord, lordy well a round my legs.

If you see my long haired woman,
Better bow your head, lord, lordy well a bow your head
If you see my long haired woman,
Better bow your head, lord, lordy well a bow your head


Trad. Chain Gang Song
Adapted and Arranged by: Harry Belafonte

Recording date: 1960
