That is 1. [something] article a day when I normally do 3-4.
Sure, I could make some excuses. But the truth is—I done lost my Negro!
The last I saw him he was eating pancakes at a Portland restaurant with Yeti Waters, who promised to send him across country on $5 mega buses via Indian casinos. I am beginning to think that blues-playing, sausage-fingered guitarist Yeti Waters has perhaps kept my slave for his own self.
Maybe it was Stevedore’s doing, perhaps telling my generous host that it was he and not me who had done the house cleaning—when it was my handiwork all along as Stevedore was needed at the typewriter.
In any case, I’m busting my rusty ghost brain over May’s slated book completion and I was simply wondering, if any of my readers have seen a 122-year old Negro, about the tone of brown shoe polish, playing the slot machines at some Midwestern casino with a “rum and smoke” in his long-fingered hand?
A devil needs to know.

Yeti Waters     May 31, 2019

Last time I saw Stevedore, he was at the Spirit Mountain Casino, putting steel washers into the quarter slots. I don’t know where he is now. Scouts honor.

On an unrelated note, I’ve just finished a comprehensive history of negro folk music, 796 pages. The working title is “Lightnin’ Stole My Thunder”.
