David long enough and I will be called stone cold the scent to peed hop right I played this tune for Mike and he thought I was playing one of his songs wrong and it turned out that we had wrote 2 tunes that had roughly the same melody with the exact same chords in the same temple so we played together and this is what happened. I have no idea I wrote it as a joke poking fun at my wife. I never heard of before I thought maybe I had played it for him someplace and just didn't remember it so I told him he was playing it wrong and he said What are you talking about I wrote this.

Hi this is Roger McMahon And you're listening to Katie Archie in Davis California. They are these. Guys. At a day. Or. Night. Well hello there here we are again and welcome to the Chambers Street Theatre and of course we have to make some a technical adjustments with some sound levels because that's just the way it is. Well I'm Ruth chambers and here we are on k d r t low power how am packed 95.7 f.m. And today we're back with Huckleberry Finn this is written by Mark Twain and the full title is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and we left last week with. Huck staying at the house of some really nice people who are feuding with some other really nice people. But they've been shooting each other and. It's going on and we're right in the thick of it now. Miss Sophia. Ran away in the middle of the night. To go get married to Harley Harley is. Well he's from the opposing feud team so it's all very Roman Romeo and Juliet here and of course a lot of people are Dion and that's where we are and we've got a shootout going on in Huck is up in a tree Nobody knows he's there. And they're mostly. Killing each other now we're going to come across a word that's no longer a word that's in use but it's a wonderful word and we really should. Well somehow recycle it it's called Go Luce's Ga l l u s 80 s. Go looses and go looses are hand knit suspenders now that's. What can I say they're suspenders and they're hand knit they might be crocheted But the point is. It's some more of that home stuff that people sort of look down on. When they got some money they wanted to have store bought suspenders rather them the homemade glue says and them. Course and we're going to be meeting people who wear go loose says today but it's later on 1st of all we've got this feud going on and people shooting at each other by and by the men stopped go boarding around and yelling they started writing towards the store then up gets one of the boys draws a steady be over the would rank and drops woman of amount of the saddle all the man jumped off their horses and grabbed her one and started to carry him to the store and the minute the 2 boys started on the run they got halfway to the trees I was in before the men noticed then the man seeing them and jumped on their orses and took out after him they gained on the boys but it didn't do no good the boys had a good start and they got to the woods pile Well that was in front of my tree and slipped in behind it and so they had the bulge on the men again one of the boys was Buck and the other was a slim young chap about 19 years old. The men ripped around awhile and then rode away as soon as they were out aside I sung out to buck and told him he needn't know what to make of my voice coming out of the tree at 1st he was awful surprised he told me to watch out sharp and let him know when the men come inside again and they was up to some devilment or other wouldn't be long. I wish I was out of that tree but I dassent come down but began to cry and rip and loud that him and his cousin Joe That was the other young chap would make up for the day yet he said his father and his 2 brothers was killed and 2 or 3 of the enemy said the Shepherdson laid for them an ambush from books it is father and brothers ought to have waited for their relatives the shepherds was too strong for them I asked him what was become of young Harney and Miss Sophia and he said they'd got across the river and was safe Well I was glad of that but the way Buck did take on because he didn't manage to kill Harney that day's shot at him and I ain't never heard anything like it while all of a sudden bang bang bang goes 3 or 4 guns the minute slipped around through the woods and come up from behind without their horses the boys jumped for the river both of them hurt and as they swum down the current the men run along the banks Nat I'm sayin out. It made me so sick I most fell out of the tree going to tell all that happened it would make me sick again if I was to do that I wished I had never come ashore that night to see such things I ain't ever going to get shot. The times I dream about them. I stayed in the treaty will it begun to get dark afraid to come down sometimes I heard guns are or way off in the woods and twice I seen little gangs of men gallop past the log store with guns so I reckoned the trouble was still going on I was mighty downhearted So I met up my mind I wouldn't ever goal near that house again because I reckoned I was to blame somehow I judged that that piece of paper meant that Miss Sophia was to meet Harney somewheres and happen asked to and run off and I judged Diot to told her father about that paper and the curious way she acted and then maybe he would a locked her up in this awful mess would never happened when I got down out of the tree I kept crept on loan down the river bank a piece and found the 2 bodies laying on the edge of the water and tugged at them till I got them ashore and then I covered up their faces and got away as quick as I could cried a little when I was covering up Buck's faces for he was mighty good to me it was just dark now I never went near the house but struck through the woods and made for the swallow up Jim Ward on his island so I tramped off in a hurry for the crick and crowded through the willows red hot to jump aboard and get out of that awful country. The raft was gone well his soul's but I was scared I couldn't get my breath for almost a minute then I raised a hell of a voice not 20 foot for me says Good land is that you honey don't make no noise it was Jim's voice nothing ever sounded so good before I ran along a bank apiece and got aboard and Jim he grabbed me and hugged me and he was so glad to see me he says love's Bless you child of ours right down show you was dead again Jack's been here he said he reckon you been shot because you didn't come home no more so I just this minute a start in a raft down towards the mouth of the crick so's to be already does show out on leave soon as Jack comes again and tells me for certain us day Ed us he added delighted to get you back again honey and I says Oh. That's mighty good they won't find me and they'll think I've been killed and floated down the river there's something up there that will help them to think so so don't you lose no time Jim but just shove off for the big water as fast as ever you can never felt easy till the raft was 2 miles below there an out in the middle of the Mississippi then we hung up our signal Lang lander and judge that we was free and safe once more. I hadn't had a bite to eat since yesterday so Jim he got out some corn dodgers in buttermilk and poor can crab. Cabbage and greens there ain't nothing in the world so good when it's cooked right and whilst I hate mess suffer we talked and had a good turn him I was powerful glad to get away from the few and so was Jim to get away from the strong we said there weren't no home like a raft after all other places do seem so cramped up and smothering but a raft Don't you feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a ranch. Well 2 or 3 days and nights went by I reckon I might say they swum by they slid along so quiet smooth and lovely Here's the way we put in the time it was a monstrous big river down there sometimes a mile and a half wide we run nights and laid up and hit daytime soon as night was most gone would stop navigated untie up nearly always in the dead water under a towhead and then cut young cottonwoods and willows and hid the raft with them then we set out the line next we slid into the river and had a swim so's to freshen up and cool off and then we set down on the shady sandy bottom where the watter was about me deep and watched the date I come. Sound anywheres perfect least a Ill just lock the whole world was asleep only sometimes the bullfrogs a clutter and maybe. The 1st thing to see looking away over the water was a kind a doll line that was the woods on the other side you could make nothing out then a pale place in the sky then more paleness spreading around and then the river softened up away off and work black anymore but grey you could see little dark spots drifting along ever so far away trade and scows and such things and long black streaks RAF's sometimes you could hear a sweep stricken or jumbled up voices it was so still and sound it's come so far and by and by you could see a streak on the water which you know by the look of the street that there's a snag there and a swift current which breaks on it and makes that streak look that way and you see the mist curl up off the water and the east reddens up and the river and you make out a long cabin in the edge of the woods away on the bank on tell other side of the river being a wood yard likely and piled up by them cheats so you could throw a dog through it anywhere. Then the nice breeze springs up and comes fan in you from over there so cool in France. And sweet to smell on account of the woods and the flowers but sometimes not that way because they had left dead fish laying around gone ours and such and they do get pretty rank and next you've got the full day and everything smile and in the sun and the song birds just go in it. A little smoke couldn't be noticed now so we could take some fish off the lines and cook up a hot breakfast and then afterwards we would watch the Los Angeles of the river and kind of a lazy along and by and by. Lazy off to sleep wake up by an ma and look to see what done it and maybe see a steamboat coffin along up stream so far off towards the other side you couldn't tell nothing about her only whether she was a stern wheel or a side wheel then for about an hour there wouldn't be enough and a hair no nothing to see just solid lonesomeness next you'd see a raft sliding by away off yonder and maybe a go loot on it Chopan because they're most always doing it on a raft you see the axe flash and come down but you don't hear nothing you see that axe go up again and by the time it's above the man's head then you hear the kiln and it took all that time to come over the water so we had put in the day lays in Iran listen to the stillness once there was a thick fog and the rafts and things that went by was beaten tin pan so the steamboats wouldn't run over him a scowl or raft went by so close we could hear them talking and cousin and laugh and heard him playing but we couldn't see no sign of them it made you feel crawly it was like spirits carrying on that way in the air. Jim said he believed it was spirits but us is no spirits would have said Durn that dern fog. Soon as it was night out we should woman got her out to about the middle we let her alone and let her float wherever the current wanted her to go and we lit the pipes and dangled our legs in the water and talked about all kinds of things we was always knackered day and night whenever the mosquitoes would let us the new clothes Buck's folks made for me was too good to be comfortable and besides I didn't go much on clothes no how sometimes we'd had that whole river all to ourselves for the longest time yonder was the banks and the islands across the water and maybe a spark which was a candle in the cabin window and sometimes on the water you could see a spark or 2 on a raft or skall you know I maybe you could hear a fiddle or a song coming over from one of them crafts It's lovely to live on the raft we had the sky up there all speckled was stars and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them and discuss whether they was made or only just happened to Jim He allowed they was made but I allowed they happened I judged it would have took too long to make so many Jim said the moon could a laid him. That look kind of reasonable so I didn't say nothing against it because I've seen a frog lay most as many so of course it could be done we used to watch the stars that fell too and see them streak down Jim allowed they got spoiled and was hove out by the nest. Once or twice of a night we could see a steamboat slip in along in the dark and now and then she had belch a whole world of sparks up out of her chimley. And they would rain down on the river and look awful pretty then she would turn a corner and her lights would wink out and her powwow shut off and leave the river still again and by and by her waves would get to us a long time after she was gone and juggle the raft a bit and after that you wouldn't hear nothing for you couldn't tell how long except maybe well maybe frogs or something after midnight the people on shore went to bid and then for 2 or 3 hours the shores was black no more sparks in the cabin windows these sparks was our clock the 1st one that showed again meant morning was coming so we hunted a place to hide and tie up right away one morning about daybreak I found a canoe and crossed over a chute to the main shore it was only 200 yards and paddled about a mile up a crick amongst the cypress woods to see if I could get some berries just as I was passing a place where a kind of cattle paths cross the crick. There comes a couple of men tearing up the path as tight as they could put it I thought I was a goner for whenever anybody was after anybody I judged it was me but they was pretty close to me then and sung out and begged me to save their lives said they hadn't done anything and was being chased for and said there was man and dogs are coming they wanted to jump right in but us is don't you do it you don't hear the dogs and horses yet you've got time to crowd through the brush and get up the crick a little ways then you take to the water and way down to me and get in a natl throw the dogs off the sand while they done it and soon as they was aboard I lit out for our tow head in about 5 or 10 minutes we heard the dogs and the man away off shouting We heard them come along towards the crick but couldn't see them they seemed to stop and fall around awhile and then as we got farther and farther away all the time we could hardly hear them at all by the time we had left a mile a woods behind us and struck the river everything was quiet and we paddled over to the Tow Head in hid in the cottonwoods and was safe one of those fellows was about 70 era words that had a bald head and a very grey whiskers yet an old battered up slouch had on Anna Gray blue wool insured and ragged old blue jeans britches stuffed into his boot tops and home knit glue says no he only had one. He had an old long tailed blue jeans coat with slick brass buttons flung over his are and both of them had big fat ratty looking carpet bag the other fellow was about 30 and dressed about his ornery After breakfast we all laid off and talked and the 1st thing that come out was that those chaps didn't know one another what got you into trouble says the bald headed to the other chap Well I'm in sellin an article to take the tartar off the tee than it does take it off do and generally the allowance and now I'm along with it but I stayed about one night longer than I do and I was just in the act of sly and now when I ran across you on the trail this side of town and you told me they were come in and beg me to help you get off so I told you I was spect in trouble myself and would scatter out with you. That's the whole yarn that's well what's yours Well I've been a rum little tempered. Temperance revival there a week and was the Pedder the women folks big and little 4 hours make it my duty warm for the roomy. Have. You been taken in as much as 5 or $6.00 a night $0.10 a head children and negroes free and business growing all the time when somehow or another a little report got around last night that I had a way of putting in my time with a Private Joe gone the sly. A negro roused me out this mornin and told me the people was gathering on the quiet with their dogs and horses and there'd be along pretty soon and give me about half an hour start and then run me down if they could and if they got May they had tar and feather me and ride me out on a rail sure I didn't wait for no Rockfest weren't hungry. Oh man says the one I reckon we might double team it diggin her well what do you think and we're going to stop there for today and we are meeting 2 of the most interesting go Lutes to come down the Mississippi and of course. G.m. Are going to have some interesting times with these interesting people so tune in next week and we'll hear some more about what's going on on the river in the great Mississippi. Now I've said a lot about Mark Twain's phonetic spelling that he made up and of course it's not consistent sometimes Hill phonetically using his phonetic spelling spell word one ways and later on he'll spell it a different ways now it could be there was an accent there maybe it was a different person talking or maybe he was just whimsical but the point was he started all this writing in the $870.00 s. And I looked up the history of phonetic spelling and it was in the late 1800 so that phonetic spelling got to be sort of systemized by some technical type people and saw the need of this phonetic spelling so that people could record how other people actually talked. And I'm just wondering if Mark Twain who became world famous and had his book Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn roughing it and his book about going to the Holy Land he went to Paris and the Holy Land I think that's amazing why he was that kind of guy he loved go in places but the point is if he heard an accent he tried using his own phonetics kind of spelling to give you an idea or a flavor of what that sounded like so these people who invented. A system of phonetic spelling my age have been reading Tom Sawyer or hook fail him and said we need to make this easier and we may need to make it more consistent and I'll bet you a whole nickel that's what happened but of course these people aren't going to be saying that they realized Mark Twain was just doing it his way. When they're coming up with something that's needed that systemize So they're going to take as much credit as they can for it and not a word was mentioned about Mark Twain but I'm bettin a nickel on it I'm bet maniacal on it if you can find out a connection between this new phonetic systemized system and Mark Twain's made up fanatical system. You could win a nickel off of me. Or not either way there's cash on the line well this is the Chamber Street Theater and we can be heard live on Thursday at 11 am and it repeats Friday at 2 30 pm and Saturday night Levon 30 pm moving up towards midnight. And of course it's a pleasure to do the show I enjoy it so much and I hope you're enjoying it too because this is this is pretty special not everybody reads all these things out there that that I'm reading you know they get their best Mark Twain jokes with their men Best Mark Twain passage about something and they stick to that and they make a living touring around and all and I think that's just wonderful well. What can I say. It's wonderful but it's not everything that Mark Twain wrote and what we've been doing here is starting with roughing it that's a book he wrote all about the gold rush. We've been reading the whole thing and we read all 300 and some pages and now we're moving on to Alconbury finned The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and we've passed 100 page 110 and moving forward.
