Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted February 5, 2019 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 When I was young, my Mother would play classical symphonies on little 45rpm records that had to cycle every few minutes. I think it was Tchaikovsky and Rimlmski-Korsakov’s Scheherazade. My Father would play the Phil Harris version of “Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette”, a talking blues style song written by Merle Travis and Tex Williams. In 1947 the original was number one on the country charts for 16 weeks. Latter, it was covered by many artists. The tune still sticks in my head…. “Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold With the ways of a gentleman I've been told A kind of a fellow that wouldn't even harm a flea But if me and a certain character met That guy that invented the cigarette I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree That ain't that I don't smoke myself And I don't reckon they'll injure your health I've smoked 'em all my life and I ain't dead yet But nicotine slaves are all the same At a pheasant party or a poker game Everything's gotta stop when they have that cigarette Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette Puff puff puff And if you smoke yourself to death Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate That you hate to make him wait But you just gotta have another cigarette…” It goes on for a few more verses with interesting stories of poker games and smooching with a girl on Lover’s Lane….all interrupted by needing to smoke that cigarette. Peace and Love, Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ranked #1 is Joni Mitchell’s Blue. ) Ok, I have the strangest Carole King story. Around 2002 I lived in a townhouse in Marina del Rey. The way the parking and layout of the place was, we all walked through our patio area and through our sliding doors to come and go. So a few friends and I are partying our asses off one night, and I’m standing next to my bar counter packing a bowl, and who opens the slider and slowly walks through the curtains but Carole effing King. No shit. She is followed in by some dude, and she realizes that she is in the wrong house before I do, as I am high as a monkey as it’s about 10:00. I remember that I was laughing my ass off about something and a bit surprised that the door opened at all, as we weren’t expecting anyone else and had settled into a nice vibe. Carole turned to the guy as quickly as she had walked in and was mumbling “this is wrong...this is the wrong place”, and I saw her make eye contact with my satchel of flower. She was not a happy camper to have stumbled upon a Bob Marley festival. As she turned and got the guy to realize they were in the wrong place, she was apologizing. I pieced everting together and said “HEY - you’re Carole King...come on in, you guys can come in...”, probably sounding like Spiccolli meets Cheech. She continued to turn away and apologize, seemingly afraid to look back into the drug den (it really was pretty tame that night and she could have showed up and seen much worse haha). The whole thing lasted a minute, max. Needless to say, we were blown away at what just happened, and I get a huge smile anytime I hear of her or her music.
