      illuminati's MindControl-Matrix is only a huge priority 1st.
      It's easy to know why we don't have the talented ones playing and singing beautifully smoothly because they get ignored & undesired by music industry, business MindControl-Matrix.
      *Nowadays* , The illuminati's reptilianic music 🎶 🎵 industry hierarchy is the owner of music industry ,so their own satanic members are going up 1st to beat up the competitions artificially with *A.I.* artificial intelligence.
      Just in case if you're extremely great talented singer or pianist or else , you'll not be a priority for illuminati's business .
      Musical influence N.L.P. , & MindControl-Matrix, Psychotronic Weapons are used 1000% against slaved humanity on Earth.
      Nowadays Donald Trump will dismantle this musical influence away from humanity.

    I was lucky to have seen Doug Kershaw in concert at an all-night bluegrass festival at the University of Montana field house in Missoula. They even served a pancake breakfast in the morning. Kershaw was awesome-came out in a velvet-like suite, threw it off later and mowed through a half dozen bows during the performance.

    I had an album with this song played and sung by him on it back in the late 60's or early '70's. It is impossible to not be happy when you hear such. As a Texas boy I had never heard such and even seen such before. I think I wore the vinyl off that album at the time, as I played it over and over and over. I saw him on a few tv performances afterwards and he was great and even greater with each and every performance. Nothing at all like the performers of today who generally suck at the stuff they call music these days.

    First time I ever saw Doug Kershaw was in 1971 - in this surreal movie called, "Zachariah" . . . kind of a Hippie Art film version of a gunfighter ballad. But all the outlaw "gangs" were bands - like The James Gang, Country Joe & The Fish, etc. - and the storyline was that Zachariah and his best friend became opponents in a gunfight. Zachariah was the fastest gun - and so all the other gunfighters came looking for him to challenge him and win the title for themselves. Doug Kershaw sort of played the part of the Greek Chorus.

      For Diggy Liggy Li and Diggy Liggy Lo.
      (Chorus)
      Diggy Liggy Li loved Diggy Liggy Lo,
      Everyone knew he was her beau,
      Nobody else could ever show
      So much love for Diggy Liggy Lo.
      Well, that's the place they find romance
      Where they do the Cajun dance.
      Steal a kiss at every chance,
      Show their love at every glance.
      (Chorus)
      Well, he finally went to see her Pa,
      Now he's got himself a papa-in-law.
      Moved out where the bayou flows,
      And now he's got a little Diggy Liggy Lo.
      (Chorus)
      ********
      I know some of my spelling is off, but here's what the Cajun expressions mean:
      Fais do-do = dance party. Cafe chaud = hot coffee. Beau = sweetheart, suitor.
