Roger in Baltimore	euphemistic for sex? folk songs? (88* d)	RE: euphemistic for sex? folk songs?	27 Aug 99
Could it be you just have raging hormones? I guess sex is where you find it. Lots of blues songs allude to sex without quite discussing: "squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg" is only the least discrete example. There was an entire style of blues called "hokum" based entirely on double entendre: "Don't put no more baking powder in your bread you see, your biscuits are big enough for me." Lightnin' Hopkins saying "Some like the Cadillac, some like the T-model Ford; Ford got the chassis but it can't haul no heavy load" was not talking just about cars. Enjoy your exploration. Do follow Alison's advice and add @blues. Roger in Baltimore
