We ate our fill, but there was more left when we was done. 'It’ll be in the icebox if y’all want some more later on, ' she told us. There weren’t no way I would have gone back and eat more.

Toward the end, a band that had a young fellow from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania–I remember on account of him saying it two or three times and laughing every time that he did–played a song called 'All She Gets from the Iceman is Ice.' It made the grown folks, most of them anyway, howl laughing. I don’t think I ever seen Mama laugh so hard. When it was about over, the sheriff come up and made them stop playing it, but he was grinning, too, so I figured he was just making them stop as part of the show.Eddie Whitlock
