    It seems like nearly everyone has similar coming of age experiences from the mid-late 1970s hehehe. I clearly remember the first time I had some Boone's Farm wine back in the day, it only came in two flavors "Apple Blossom" and "Strawberry Hill."
    It wasn't too long before we graduated from Boone's to Mickey's Malt Liquor in the barrel shaped wide-mouth 12 oz bottles sometimes referred to as "grenades!"
    But no matter what we were drinking or partaking of whenever we heard this song, we would all stop and get real quiet just like you was in church on Sunday morning...listening to one of the best blue's songs ever made. Thank you Mr Justin Johnson for playing one of my all time favorite songs with such soul and tone! 🎸

    Well, I used to wake the mornin'
    Before the rooster crowed
    Searchin' for soda bottles
    To get myself some dough
    Brought 'em down to the corner
    Down to the country store
    Cash 'em in, and give my money
    To a man named Curtis Loew
    Old Curt was a black man
    With white curly hair
    When he had a fifth of wine
    He did not have a care
    He used to own an old Dobro
    Used to play it 'cross his knee
    I'd give old Curt my money
    He'd play all day for me
    Play me a song
    Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
    Well, I got your drinkin' money
    Tune up your Dobro
    People said he was useless
    Them people all were fools
    'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker
    To ever play the blues
    He looked to be sixty
    And maybe I was ten
    Mama used to whoop me
    But I'd go see him again
    I'd clap my hands, stomp my feet
    Try to stay in time
    He'd play me a song or two
    Then take another drink of wine
    Play me a song
    Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
    Well, I got your drinkin' money
    Tune up your Dobro
    People said he was useless
    Them people all were fools
    'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker
    To ever play the blues
    Yes, sir
    On the day old Curtis died
    Nobody came to pray
    Ol' preacher said some words
    And they chunked him in the clay
    Well, he lived a lifetime
    Playin' the black man's blues
    And on the day he lost his life
    That's all he had to lose
    Play me a song
    Curtis Loew, hey Curtis Loew
    I wish that you was here so
    Everyone would know
    People said he was useless
    Them people all were fools
    'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker
    To ever play the blues

      The band’s website says that the song is based on a composite of people. These people actually lived in the Van Zants‘ original neighborhood in Jacksonville, Florida. Specifically, the country store “is based on Claude’s Midway Grocery on the corner of Plymouth and Lakeshore in Jacksonville.”
      The business has since been renamed Sunrise Food Store, but still occupies the same location. The specific spelling of the surname comes from Ed King. He wrote the liner notes for the Second Helping and decided to name the bluesman after the Jewish Loew’s Theatre

I use to think playing was just something you do but I see now it’s a lifestyle. And I’m no pro at all but when I plug in my guitar all my problems disappear and it helped me through some real hard times the last year. And it all starting from watching one of your videos.

    It all seems so I don’t know “magical “ somehow it goes from being a shovel and some bits and pieces. Then he plugs it in and bam I’m transported back 40 years riding around in some old piece of shit I cobbled together with a 8 track jury rigged in smoking some ditch weed and washing it down with Boone’s farm and lying to my buddies about girls we made out with and cars we were gonna have some day . Thanks JJ and for god sakes watch out for airplanes and helicopters. O yea and peach trucks!
