“I'd like to teach the world to sing...”*

Earl: “I think we should make it clear that the musical genre known as "hokum" was a sort of black vaudeville, full of sexual inuendo and racial stereotypes. Unlike the blues of the time, the audience was white as well as black.”

Black vaudeville performers in a Kickapoo Show? Nah! Wade Mainer, “Grandfather of Bluegrass,” did hokum for Crazy Water Crystals. Could have sworn the Guthrie family did radio-X hokum on XELO-AM(?) but can't find a mention of it close to hand.

At any rate, it's not just sex, giggles & sex. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

*Jingle, jingle! ;)
