Ry Cooder - Wade In The Water

Another of Ry Cooder and the Golden Gate Quartet not included in manchinman2929's posts or my previous (qv). This old spiritual number is supposedly a coded slave song with instructions on how to escape and avoid capture. Wade in the water - so the dogs can't track your scent. Well before the De Vinci Code... Ry Cooder and The Golden Gate Quartet (Cliff Givens, Bill Johnson, Pico Payne, Jimmy Adams), SoundStage 1978. www.rycooderstuff.co.uk

I knew Pico Payne, he was my friend. He worked as a host at a Karaoke bar in the lobby of the Miramar Hotel in Waikiki. He was always dressed to the nines and could still sing like a bird up until he died. What a class act. You never met a kinder, gentler man in your entire life and I feel better about myself for having known him. aloha, Pico
