Meade 'Lux' Lewis - Don't Put That Thing in Me

Meade 'Lux' Lewis on piano with vocals by Bob Robinson
"Don't Put That Thing in Me" recorded November 1930 in Grafton, Wisconsin, USA.

From an LP released c. 1975 entitled "Tell your Story" on the Utrecht, Netherlands based Oldie Blues label, release number OL 2805.

Found this on an LP I bought a few months ago and that thought it was a fun novelty tune. Couldn't find it on YouTube so I've done the honors. An exclusive track!

Have piano, will travel

P567

Yesterday my friend Scott Harris and I modified my old piano to make it mobile. We built two trucks with 3" locking casters and attached them to the sides. Now, one person can easily push this thing around. It's going downtown, where I will soon be joining the regular street musician crew. Are there any downtown businesses that would like to host my piano? See you on the street corner, Asheville.

Two of my spiritual advisors when it comes to playing music are these guys. Seeing them play is like going to church. Founding members of the legendary Blue Rags.

Elvis Presley Impersonator, Puerto Varas, Chile

I saw this guy with my Chilean family at a bar in Puerto Varas, Chile called Bravo Cabreras. Nice place, generous pours of whiskey, enthusiastic crowd, and "Elvis" put on a great show. I'm told he's a veterinarian by day.
