Subject: RE: Origins: Ain't Nobody's Business
Taj Mahal credited his version of "Ain't nobody's business" as 'trad' on Satisfied 'n' tickled too,(CBS 81346, UK#) but it appears to bear no relationship to the song in the DT blicky, I hope! .

Does anybody have any idea who penned the original of Taj's version, and whether he changed it much. The words sound very Taj to me.

I'll work out, transcribe and post the LP lyrics, unless any of you have them typed up already, in which case I'll admit to being a lazy Ba*tard and let you post them!

If there's an "original" of Taj's version, does any body have the words, and/or recordings info?
I'm sure MMario would welcome MIDIs of any tune versions, too! (The DT lyrics have no tune attached) One New Year's resolution -- that I might be able to stick to, unlike givin' up combustibles -- is to get, and learn, a MIDI/Dots/MIDI program. Any suggestions for simple (free?) PC software? Must check the FAQ.

Have a purrrrrrrfect Christmas, 'catters
