This is an amazing deep dive! So impressive and the writing is wonderfully funny! Thank you for all of this. One thing you don’t discuss and I’m curious for your take on is whether “hoeing the corn” can be understood, ahem, euphemistically. Thanks for this wonderful project and super deep dive. It’s a credit and honor to these nearly forgotten musicians.

Thanks so much. I’m also glad my conversational writing style is workin.
On “hoeing corn”, that never occurred to me, but I can see where you’re coming from, it’s surely got the markings of a good innuendo.
That makes the premature ending of the engagement all the more poignant. If he ain’t gonna hoe ANY corn, real or metaphorical . What good is he??
