Subject: Oh Lord Send me a blond..Cornball Comedy From: Fortunato Date: 20 Dec 99 - 04:09 PM "Oh Lord send me a blond, I'm tired of squeezin' blackheads." This is an example of Cornpone Comedy as exemplified by Homer and Jethro and others. If you have any of these bucolic gems lying around your personal barnyard, please share them. For Example: Comic: "How much you reckon they'll pay me to pick cotton, Buford?" Straight man: "Oh I reckon they'll pay you what you're worth." Comic: "Now Buford, that won't do, I got to have some money". Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Fortunato |

Subject: RE: Folklore: Oh Lord Send me a blonde - Cornpone From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 17 Sep 03 - 02:21 PM What I meant was "the second entry in the PREVIOUS thread was NOT on the right track" - both examples in message One here ARE. No Problemo, Fortunato, I'm a fan of H&J since a kid when they were doing the stuff too. Robin |

Subject: RE: Folklore: Oh Lord Send me a blonde - Cornpone From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 17 Sep 03 - 02:50 PM The reason I call it a Folklore thread, cause these things were usually used by musos to introduce songs... longer routines are something else, really... :-) Robin |

Subject: RE: Oh Lord Send me a blond..Cornball Comedy From: Charley Noble Date: 25 Sep 03 - 01:18 PM Maybe "slack" is a pun on "slag." Not to worry, I puzzled over this one myself. Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Oh Lord Send me a blond..Cornball Comedy From: fretless Date: 25 Sep 03 - 02:00 PM The reason I call it a Folklore thread, cause these things were usually used by musos to introduce songs... You mean like: Run to the roundhouse Sally, the boys can't corner you there They tortured her in teepees, but her suffering was in tents Did an article on these back in the late 70s for John McLaughlin's The Folk Life. There are lots. |
