I think Roxy just wanted an excuse to type "n*" on BWW.

You got it

K/E say it than that is OK I mention titles in a book on them & I am the bad guy. How did you guess I had an evil purpose to my post? I am now cleaning it up as to no longer offend your sensibilities. Sorry I upset you. Paranoia will destroy ya. Do you know NAMO?

Have some cookies & go to bed.

Has Almira been?

Almira made the remark and I responded. The remark was about as subtle as a 5 ton weight falling on you from 10 stories. Lets see by making 1 post about song titles I have become a drunken racist. I wonder what will be next.

I know accuracy is the furthest thing from your feeble mind, but just for clarification, my screen name has never been in all caps. Just as yours has never had a period

Maybe providing some background instead of some provocative song titles would be, you know, helpful.

Mr Roxy, methinks, once again, you are being too sensitive.

So tell us: what WAS the point of the list? I loved Scottsboro, but the list you provided means nothing to me.

Minstrel Show was the early title for what became The Scottsboro Boys. At least two songs on Roxy's list are in the present version: "Two Innocent Southern Girls" became "Alabama Ladies" and "They Can't Do Us..." is "You Can't Do Me". There was a song called "Walk Right In" (which was a song for Sheriff Bones and Deputy Tambo welcoming the boys to prison) which was cut sometime before the Vineyard production. I think it's the same song as "Walk Around Boys". Good song, but unnecessary.

Yeah, Roxy - I have to agree that you overreacted a bit.

Thanks Smaxie for providing the context that Roxy failed to.
