Hi Kids: Look. It's easy. When Robert Johnson uttered the now famous phrase, "squeeze my lemons 'til the juice runs down my leg..." he was preparing to do the precursor of the Grandmother of Martha Stewart's Cooking Show. No T.V. So it was going to be on radio.

They were looking for popular recipes, and what better to prepare than a good old fashioned lemon meringue pie? And since everybody knows all great chefs rarely use measuring devices, Robert had bought some lemons and was merely telling Grandma Stewart the amount of lemon juice to use. All Blues guys know this...bob


p.s. If anybody believed more than 20 seconds of the above, I have beachfront property in the Everglades to sell you...:0)BR
