Ebonics

[j minnich]

On the subject of Ebonics, has anyone on the list ever heard Melvin
VanPeebles' LP "Bre'er Soul" (unsure of spelling, but why should spelling
matter when we're talkin' Ebonics)?  There's a tune on it called
"When-Lilly-Did-The-Zamboogie-Every-Time-I-Pulled-Her-Coattails" that is
magnificent!  It's one of the best eggsamples of really bizarre argot I've
ever heard--with some terrific sax work to boot, you know what I'm sayin'?
I just wish I could find a copy of it.     -j minnich
