I once recorded a tune from a banjo player in Virginia. The tape was still running when I asked him the name of the tune. I thought that he said 'Slow Foot' and guessed that it was some sort of dance tune. Later, Frank Weston heard the recording and burst out laughing when he realised that the performer had said 'Slew Foot'. According to Frank, who knew the tune, it was used for a song about a bear called 'Slew Foot'! Presumably this would be a different song to the one mentioned above. |
