GUEST,Paul Mitchell	Lyr Req: Short'nin' Bread (18)	RE: Lyr Req: Shortnin Bread (from Paul in Maine)	12 Feb 02
Gern said: The Freight Hoppers, no slaves to either tradition or sentimentality, sing: "I'm so glad the old hog's dead/ I got more shortening for my bread..." This line comes from the singing of Hub Mahaffey, singer and guitarist with the Dykes Magic City Trio, a great band from Tenn. who recorded in the 20's. Another line from them is: Going up to get a little shortnen', shortnen' Going up to get a little shortnen bread. You can hear the 78 of this version, featuring John Dykes remarkable fiddling, at www.honkingduck.com (under the 78 link).Just look under D for Dykes and drop to the bottom of the page.
