David Bruce Anecdotes
Anecdotes are usually short humorous stories. Sometimes they are thought-provoking or informative, not amusing.
Preachers
• A preacher in a small-town church was offered a job at twice the salary preaching in a big-city church. A member of the congregation, wondering whether the preacher would accept the job, stopped by the preacher’s house and knocked on the door. The preacher’s daughter answered the door, and he asked her where the preacher was. She replied, “He’s on his knees praying for divine guidance about whether to accept the job offer.” He then asked, “Where’s your mother?” The preacher’s daughter replied, “She’s upstairs packing.”
• Mr. Betterton, an actor, believed that the theaters would soon be empty if actors spoke like preachers. Conversely, if preachers spoke like actors, the churches would soon be full. When asked why this was so, since preachers speak about real things, and actors speak about imaginary things, Mr. Betterton replied, “My lord, I can assign but one reason — we players speak of things imaginary as though they were real, and too many of the clergy speak of things real as though they were imaginary.”
• Alvin K. Klotz used to speak before many Protestant churches, and the churches used variations of the Lord’s Prayer. Some churches used, “Forgive us our debts,” others used, “Forgive us our trespasses,” and still others used, “Forgive us our sins.” Therefore, before reciting the Lord’s Prayer, Mr. Klotz used to say, “It would help me greatly to know if you are debtors, trespassers, or sinners.”
• Marshall Keeble was a black Church of Christ preacher who stood up for his beliefs. A white man once told him in Tennessee, “You preach like this anymore, you’ll leave town or we’ll kill you.” Preacher Keeble replied, “I kissed my wife before I left Nashville, Tennessee. My Lord died for me. I’d just as soon die for him in Lexington, Tennessee, as anywhere else.” Mr. Keeble continued to preach.
• While preaching at a church in Bentley Creek, Pennsylvania, Wesleyan pastor William Woughter had the misfortune of being bothered by a fly that buzzed around him, then flew straight into his mouth, causing him to gag until he was finally forced to swallow the fly. Pastor William then looked at the congregation and said, “That reminds me of the scripture, ‘I was a stranger and you took me in.’”
• June Cerza Kolf tells this story: At her family reunion held in California, an earthquake struck as the family members attended church. Afterwards, one of the family members, who was new to California, told the pastor, “I’ve been to a lot of church services in my life, but I can honestly say this was the most moving one I’ve ever attended.”
• After Rev. Ronald J. Mohnickey celebrated Mass on a very hot summer day at a church in Steubenville, Ohio, a smiling woman said to him after the liturgy, “I am so happy when you celebrate Mass here! When you come here, they always turn on the air conditioning because you sweat so much!”
Priests and Popes
• Papal Nuncio Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, who was later to be Pope John XXIII, once met the Chief Rabbi of Paris at a reception. They talked together for a long time, and when they were summoned to dinner, they were confronted with the dilemma of who would walk through the door to the dining room first. Nuncio Roncalli motioned for the Rabbi to go first, saying, “The Old Testament before the New.”
• Father Bob Perella was known as the priest to the stars. Frequently, he hung around with Perry Como. One day Father Bob and Mr. Como met Vic Damone, who was also with a priest. When Father Bob asked Mr. Damone what was up, he replied, “If you can make Perry such a big star, you must have a pretty good connection. I figured I’d use somebody from the same agency.”
• Pope John XXIII (1881-1963) addressed several prisoners in the Regina Coeli prison. After the Pope had spoken, a murderer was allowed to approach him, and asked, “Are those words of hope you have given us meant for such a great sinner as me?” The Pope embraced the murderer.
Problem-Solving
• Boston Celtic Bill Russell’s grandfather was a proud man who knew how to stick up for himself. Once, he worked a year for a white farmer, doing such things as plowing a field and planting seeds in return for a share of the sales of the crops. However, the white farmer did not pay him fairly when the crops were sold. Mr. Russell’s grandfather let the white farmer know what he thought, and the white farmer threatened him. Mr. Russell’s grandfather ended up pulling a gun on the white farmer, who threatened, “We’ll get you for this! Tonight!” Mr. Russell’s grandfather knew who would be coming that night: the Night Riders, aka the Ku Klux Klan. He first moved his family to safety, then he returned to his house with a gun and a dog. That night, as expected, the Night Raiders came, and they ordered Mr. Russell’s grandfather to come out of the house and take a beating. He told them that they would have to come in the house after him. One of the Klansman fired a shot at the house, and Mr. Russell’s grandfather fired his shotgun into the darkness. The Night Riders ran away.

From The Book of Good Deeds 1914-1918: WORLD WAR I GOOD DEEDS. Collected and Edited with a Foreword by Bernhard Diebold. 1938. This book consists of accounts of good deeds during World War I. Most accounts are by Germans.
TAKEN prisoner at Mons, after being seriously wounded four times, Captain Campbell of the East Surrey Regiment learned, in captivity, that his mother was dangerously ill. The mother adored her son and was worrying about his fate. The son, interned in a sanatorium, could think of nothing but his mother, and lived through endless days and nights of anxiety and longing to get to her sickbed.
Would the German authorities grant him leave to visit her? Perhaps her life could be saved by this. He wrote his petition although he knew it must be refused. It was refused.
In desperation he then sent a letter directly to the Emperor. To his great joy he received news that the Emperor had granted the petition, three weeks leave on parole.
- Sent in by an English correspondent. Retold from the “Daily Herald,” May 7, 1931. (From Field marshal Sir John French’s Memoirs.)

Tim O’Brien and Zeke Hutchison: “Sleepy Eyed Joe”:
Traditional arrangement Zeke Hutchison and Tim O’Brien / No Bad Ham Music / ASCAP
Credits:
Recorded April 16th 2015 at the Butcher Shoppe
Engineered by David Ferguson
Zeke Hutchison – mandolin
Tim O’Brien – guitar
Song Notes:
Zeke Hutchison, from Belmont County Ohio, is one of the very best unsung mandolin players in the world. He comes by the music naturally, having grown up hearing his father Robert and uncle J.D. play banjo and guitar. As the Hutchison Brothers they recorded two bluegrass albums for Vetco records in the mid 1970’s. J.D. and Robert learned music from their father J.W. Hutchison who was a fine fiddler. I have a tape of J.W. playing this tune with J.D. on guitar, probably recorded in their Barnesville living room.
The Hutchison Brothers were some of the best bluegrass players in the Wheeling area. I often sat in with them on guitar and fiddle, and I recorded a few tracks with them on their second LP. Hot Rize eventually recorded three of J.D. songs – Ain’t I Been Good To You, My Little Darlin’, and Money To Burn. If you’re persistent, you can find recordings by J.D. and Realbilly Jive or hear him live near his Athens OH home.
Zeke was visiting Nashville for a few days in April and dropped by a studio mix session. He had his mandolin so we played a few tunes and Ferg recorded this one. You can look Zeke up at www.zekesfancy.com, or www.facebook.com/zekesfancy, and you can take a lesson from him at Blue Eagle Music in Athens OH.

Zeke Hutchison: “The Minnie Foster Medley Duet”
The Minnie Foster Clog and Banks Hornpipe I learned from a recording of the venerable B/C button accordion player Joe Burke. Dad and I were playing in the yard one day when an old man named Clessent Carpenter from Temperanceville pulled in. He got out and started performing a helluva clog dance. We finished the tune, Clessent said The Minnie Foster, damnedest little stepping tune! After that day we called the tune the Clessent Carpenter Clog! This performance is from 1993.

The Hutchisons: “She’s No Angel” 1995
The Hutchisons were Zeke and Zeke Hutchison on banjo/lead vocals and mandolin respectively, along with Buddy G. Van Kirk on guitar and tenor vocal. Rest in peace, Bud. Unreleased track from recording “Sleepy Hollow,” session in 1995, Athens, Ohio. This was bluegrass from southeastern Ohio. Dad remains unique among banjo players, a powerful player heavily influenced by Don Stover.

The Hutchisons: “Dixie Breakdown” 1995
“The Hutchisons were Zeke and Zeke Hutchison on banjo and mandolin respectively, along with Buddy G. VanKirk on guitar and tenor vocal. Rest in peace, Bud. Unreleased track from recording ‘Sleepy Hollow,’ session in 1998, Athens, Ohio. This was bluegrass from southeastern Ohio. Dad remains unique among banjo players, a powerful player heavily influenced by Don Stover.”

The Hutchisons: “Mom and Dad Waltz”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfJ-1hBuRow
“Happy Birthday Bill Monroe.”
“Dad shared a birthday with the Daddy of Bluegrass, September 13th. Dad was a true blue Bluegrass musician. The second banjo break here is transcendent.”

SWING BIG (Dave Borowski and Zeke Hutchison)
Swing Big is a duo that features Dave Borowski on vocals and guitar, and Zeke Hutchison on mandolin. Their music relies heavily on influences drawn from jazz, swing, Western swing, blues, bluegrass, and music from the British Isles.
Dave Borowski has performed in public since 1972. In addition to studio and freelance work, he has been a member of Athens-based bands Close Enough for Jazz, Aces and Eights, the Kings of Hollywood, Deltoid, Common Ground, the Billycats, Zeke’s Fancy, and the Wingnuts. He also currently plays with J.D. Hutchison and Realbilly Jive.
Zeke Hutchison grew up around music, his father and uncle being the core of the nationally-known Hutchison Brothers. Zeke took to the mandolin at an early age. He has recorded with (Grammy-award-winning artist) Tim O’Brien on his Short Order Sessions. O’Brien writes of Zeke as “one of the best unsung mandolin players in the world.”
Together, Swing Big performs jazz standards from the American Songbook, swing songs from the Django Reinhardt-Charlie Christian Era, country and western swing from the likes of Bob Wills, and just about anything else that might catch their ears.
For a good time, come hear ’em.

Words can’t describe the loss of J.D. Hutchison. He has influenced both of our lives in so many ways. Zeke lost his uncle (the Funcle, we called him), with whom he shared years and years of great times, musical and otherwise. Dave was the bassist in JD’s band, Realbilly Jive, for its entire run. However, this description only scratches the surface…
He left us the same way he lived his life … on his own terms. Many of the people he’d known throughout his life had the chance to tell him how much he meant to them, and they got to say their goodbyes. That’s a good thing.

J.D. HUTCHISON: ROOTS MUSIC MASTER — THE REAL DEAL
By David Bruce
J.D. Hutchison is better than just better. In Athens County, Ohio, He is sometimes called “Lost John,” which is an odd name for such an obviously all-together guy. Maybe he got that nickname because of his self-derogatory humor (“I counted all the way up to ten once and learned all my ABCs up to M and N”). A better nickname for him would be “The Real Deal.”
This album — YOU AND THE WORLD OUTSIDE — opens strongly with his blues song “Little Legs Moan”: “‘Don’t want to hurt you’ / That’s what she said / She did not hurt me, boys / She killed me stone dead / With the little legs moan.”
These lines from “Another Fool’s Café” shows his way of poetry-izing lyrics: “There’s always an empty table or two / It’s a hill jack twilight zone / The door is always open / And the lights are always on / Ain’t no bottom to the bottle, boys / No difference in the night and day / There ain’t no hands on the clock / In another fool’s café.”
Another standout song is his “Since My Bird has Flied Away,” which has been covered by Ingrid Lucia & The Flying Neutrinos, John Kirkpatrick and Chris Parkinson, and The Local Girls. Any singer-songwriter will probably tell you that the ultimate compliment is other people covering your songs. A few lyrics: “I need to change my head around / Maybe trip out to the zoo / Take a walk downtown / Hell, I don’t know what to do / But nothing seems to matter / Since my bird has flied away.” The bird, of course, is a woman.
Readers of this review should make heavy use of Amazon’s preview snippets of J.D. Hutchison’s songs on this page. Fans of roots music (defined as various combinations of blues, folk, country, bluegrass, and whatever else the singer-songwriter knows will make the song better) will find much to like. J.D. Hutchison is a regionally famous singer-songwriter who in my humble opinion ought to be at least nationally famous — and a whole lot richer. Better late than later.
I love this album, all songs of which are by J.D. Hutchison.
By the way, all the lyrics of this album can be seen at <http://www.jdhutchison.com/lyrics.html>.
Support local music, and be aware that in the age of the Internet and the WWW, Athens County is local worldwide.

Little Legs Moan
The woman I’m lovin’
Do me all she can
She does not want me
Wants some other man
Got the little legs moan (3)
Gonna go to China
Maybe Afri-cay
Gotta leave my little legs
Got to get away
From the little legs moan (3)
“Don’t want to hurt you”
That’s what she said
She did not hurt me boys
She killed me stone dead
With the little legs moan (3)
Of all the things
The devil has made
To bust up a man’s heart
And lay him in the Shade
It’s the little legs moan (3)
Since My Bird Has Flied Away
Pour some more coffee in my coffee cup
I don’t know why, I don’t even like the stuff
But nothing seems to matter
Since my bird has flied away
I need to change my head around
Maybe trip out to the zoo
Take a walk downtown
Hell, I don’t know what to do
But nothing seems to matter
Since my bird has flied away
I remember the night – stars shining bright
Underneath the apple tree
It was then that she said – I was severely misled
That she would never leave me
But now she’s gone off with some other dude to stay
And I’m so all alone since she went away
And nothing seems to matter
Since my bird has flied away
I remember the night – stars shining bright
Underneath the apple tree
It was then that she said – I was severely misled
That she would never leave me
But now she’s gone off with some other dude to stay
And I’m so all alone since she went away
And nothing seems to matter
Since my bird has flied away
Ooby Doobly
You are the sweetest Ooby
That I ever did see
I really love ya, Doobly
‘Cause you’re so good to me
Ooby Doobly
Ooby Doobly all the time
Ooby Doobly
I can’t get you out of my mind
My mama is my mama
And she don’t like you
Your daddy thinks I’m just
A cocka-doodly-do
Ooby Doobly
Ooby Doobly all the time
Ooby Doobly
I can’t get you out of my mind
Why don’t we do like the birdies do
And fly on outta here
We’ll build ourselves a little old nest
In the upper atmosphere
We’ll be so happy all the time
In our little home up above
We’ll live together forever and ever
In love, love, love
Why don’t we do like the birdies do
And fly on outta here
We’ll build ourselves a little old nest
In the upper atmosphere
We’ll be so happy all the time
In our little home up above
We’ll live together forever and ever
In love, love, love
Ooby Doobly
Ooby Doobly all the time
Ooby Doobly
I can’t get you out of my mind
Ooby Doobly
Ooby Doobly all the time
Ooby Doobly
I can’t get you out of my mind
Love at a Distance
You write me such pretty letters
But words on paper is as cold as stone
You call me up to say you love me
But I don’t want to hear it on the telephone
It makes me sad – thinking about all the
Things we coulda had
I’m in bad need of assistance
Can’t take no more of this love at a distance
My mind lines up against me
I reckon it a gain – I reckon it a loss
So many lonesome highways
So many lonesome rivers to cross
It breaks my heart
For us to have to be so far apart
I’m in bad need of assistance
Can’t take no more of this love at a distance
It breaks my heart
For us to have to be so far apart
I’m in bad need of assistance
Can’t take no more of this love at a distance
Oh no
The Song Around Your Life
I spend a lot of time thinkin’ ‘boutch lately, lady
Just thinkin’ ‘bout me and you
Thinkin’ ‘bout the way that we used to live together
And the things that we used to do
Through the bedroom window, the whip-poor-will
And the barking of the fox
I know I couldn’t bring back a minute of it
Not even for a million bucks
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, little lady
Just murderin’ the time away
Hear you laughin’ at the things you know ain’t even funny
And the silly things that people say
On your hands and knees through the counterfeit
Through the sham and through the shuck
You know you couldn’t change not a minute of it
Not even for a million bucks
But it’s oh, no
You’ll find nobody cares
Well it’s oh, no
You’ll find no mercy here
At the song around your life
It will cut you like a knife
And if you don’t know just what it is you’re doing
Then you better be a-going home
Sad song makin’ me feel so lonely
Just magnifies my sighs
I’d like to tell you that I love you, mama
But you know it only makes me cry
I’d like to pick you up again with a brand new plan
But I know there can’t be no such luck
I know you’d never, never, ever come back again
Not even for a million bucks
But it’s oh, no
You’ll find nobody cares
Well it’s oh, no
You’ll find no mercy here
At the song around your life
It will cut you like a knife
And if you don’t know just what it is you’re doing
Then you better be a-going home
Ivory Bones and Ebony Dots
Ivory bones and ebony dots
Sometimes gonna lead you to the graveyard plot
The game tonight brought on a fight
That ended up in pistol shots
Now, I been a gambler most all of my life
Lost everything I had to the cards and the dice
And I ain’t no stranger to the gun and the knife
But I ain’t doin’ that shit no more, because
Ivory bones and ebony dots
Sometimes gonna lead you to the graveyard plot
The game tonight brought on a fight
That ended up in pistol shots
There was six-finger Bob layin’ dead on the floor
Some other dude a-floppin’ in the grime and the gore
When somebody through the transom said,
“Wunna you sports better stay with the dead
And tell them coppers when they arrive
Why these here brothers ain’t alive
Ivory bones and ebony dots
Sometimes gonna lead you to the graveyard plot
The game tonight brought on a fight
That ended up in pistol shots
Now, I was the furthest away from the door
The others got there a long time before
And while I ain’t scared, I am rather fleet
And I am in possession of two excellent feet
And before I be dealin’ with them po-leece
I’m gonna be down that road a piece
Ivory bones and ebony dots
Sometimes gonna lead you to the graveyard plot
The game tonight brought on a fight
That ended up in pistol shots
Ivory bones and ebony dots
Sometimes gonna lead you to the graveyard plot
The game tonight brought on a fight
That ended up in pistol shots
Another Fool’s Café
Well if you ain’t never been in here
You better hang around close to the door
Have a drink or two and then move it on out
If you’ve never been here before
You may not care to stick it out – no –
But then again you may
You just make yourself at home
In another fool’s café
Well there’s a Hank Williams freak
With a guitar sittin’ on a barstool
Everybody buys him drinks
To crank him up and make him play
He’s a regular jukebox of heartache and sorrow
But they all laugh anyway
People like to laugh in another fool’s café
See that silky lookin’ dude admiring himself in the mirror
With the pretty long hair and extremely hip array
He lays cocaine and reefer on the ‘billy boys
Without a trace of parano-I-A
But they couldn’t do without him in another fool’s café
Got the ladies of the day and the ladies of the night
All lookin’ for a hell of a time
Gentlemen lightin’ their cigarettes
In relentless pantomime
Everybody’s talking while the guitar sings
But they never have a thing to say
They’re all laughing but they’re lonesome
In another fool’s café
See that mountain of muscle,
He’s the bull of the woods in the county
It’s advisable boys, not to never, never get in his way
Because he’s liable to knuckle you about the head
If you look at him crossways
And he’s always hangin’ out here
In another foo’s café
There’s always an empty table or two
It’s a hill jack twilight zone
The door is always open
And the lights are always on
Ain’t no bottom to the bottle, boys
No difference in the night and day
There ain’t no hands on the clock
In another fool’s café
I Pity the Son and the Daughter
I pity the son and the daughter
Born in this world today
Of strife and bitter confusion
That leads them all astray
I pity the mother and father
Who watch in sad dismay
As all that they cherish and treasure
Is lost along the way
I pity the greatest captain
Out in the blood-dark sea
Who cannot rest his vigil
And, weary, never sleeps
I pity the son and the daughter
Who crumble like clay
I pity the son and the daughter
Born in this world today
Approximately Love
The other night I felt like I might take a ramble
To the café coffee café ‘way down town
Put the spit and polish on the old preamble
Warm up a stool and toss a couple down
The band was all tuned up and set to start in
The dancers were all gathered on the floor
When my eyes clapped on a sight that did my heart in
A total vision standing at the door
The expression on her face surpassing winsome
Her hair hung down in ringlets tight and loose
She wore a pleated dress of stunning crimson
And on her feet two tiny scarlet dancing shoes
Then came a flash like lightning
Like a sign from up above
The muscles in my throat began to tighten
The feeling was approximately love
Just then the barkeep tapped me on the shoulder
Said, “Here’s some advice for you, sport – and it’s free
That redbird there that’s got you all a-smoldering
Ain’t got no use for the likes of you or me
No man upon this earth has ever kissed her
Though many have been taken by her charms
There’s not a chance for you if you’re a ‘mister’
To be encircled by those sleek and muscled arms
It ain’t no use to try to rearrange her
She’s just the way she’s always gonna be
It constitutes a clear and present danger
To be hangin’ out in her proximity.”
Red shoes on the dance floor
Red dress that sways and swirls
She don’t care much ‘bout what a man’s for
She’s not exactly like the other girls
Don’t Talk About Love
Nothing ain’t nothing – everything is gone
Ever since they put a man on the moon
You can talk about man – you can talk about woman
But don’t talk about love
Everyone’s talking – but they ain’t said a thing
From the lowliest station right up to the king
They can talk anout their own self
They can talk about one another
But they can’t talk about love
Don’t talk about god – things you don’t understand
Poor old god’s doing the best that he can
You can talk about women but don’t talk about love
Nothing ain’t nothing – everything is gone
Ever since they put a man on the moon
You can talk about man – you can talk about woman
But don’t talk about love
My Little Darlin’
I felt all the time we lived together
That she only kept me for a plaything
How she seemed so like a little child
Who stays a while then laughs and runs away
I heard all the talk a-going down
She just had to sleep around
Though I still cared for my little darlin’
I know she no longer cares for me
When I’m dead and laying in my coffin
And my friends all stand around me weeping
Then perhaps I will forget about her
When I’m in that deep and dreamless sleep
Now I know just what a fool I’ve been
It’s so easy now to see
Though my heart breaks for my little darlin’
I know she no longer cares for me
Devil Getcha Baby
Devil gonna getcha, baby
Come and love me one more time
Devil gonna getcha, baby
Woncha come and love me one more time
Ain’t nothin’ we do be wrong, babe
Every little thing we do gonna turn out right
Go and tell your mama
We’re just gonna take a walk out in the park
Tell your old mama
We just take a little walk in the park
Gonna treat you real good, baby
Have you to come back home, babe, before it gets dark
Tell your old daddy
We’re just gonna take a drive around
Go tell your big old daddy
We’ll just take a little bitty-bitty drive around
I’ll stick my big feet out the window
Getcher little ol’ head t’ go down down down
I’ll stick my big feet out the window
Getcher little ol’ head t’ go down down down
You and the World Outside
If words alone could break a heart
Mine never would be broken
But just one look from my darlin’s eye
And not a word need never be spoken
Not a word need ever be spoken
A little feathered bird in flight
Up in the sky all alone
Ever so swiftly is brought down to the earth
By some child’s sling and stone
By some child’s sling and stone
A tender heart so like a bird
Once broken it can’t never be mended
You must go your way as I go mine
And that’s how true love’s ended
And that’s how true love’s ended
The time has come for us to part
I know that I will survive
I hope that you may find your way
You and the world outside
You and the world outside
That Ain’t All of Me
You can check me out
Walkin’ down the street
Maybe not the kinda guy
That you’d wanna meet
But that shufflin’ duffer
That you seem to see
Well, that ain’t all of me
Back in 1 – 9 – 7 – OH
I’m lookin’ good
A respectable figure
In the neighborhood
Now the years have fled
So precipitously
But that ain’t all of me
There’s people think they own you
Bone, hide, and hair
They tell you that they love you
But they don’t care
First they want yer money
Then it’s yer clothes
Aw, but that’s the way it goes
You can have it all, people
I don’t mind
Take anything of value
That you think you can find
You can add my kingdom of the street
To yer kingdom of thin air
I’m broke even
I’m up on my dues
Just another good ol’ billy boy
Lost in the blues
The leaves are all scattered
Underneath the tree
But that ain’t all of me
