Slim was a dear friend of my parents. He was an unbelievable musician. There was nothing the man couldn't play. I remember him coming to the house when I was 7, picking up my toy guitar (plastic body and strings) and cranking away on it! He could play a cow bell like it had range and could read a menu and turn it into a song (as he did on "Yiprock").
AT one of the World's Fairs, a 45 was put in a time capsule with Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" on one side and "Cement Mixer" on the other.
I love this song...thanks!!! =))))

Cot Campbell in the Navy in 1946 is going home, and ships out on a nondescript vessel sailing from San Francisco to New Orleans.
The "captain" is a horror - unqualified - but somehow they got there in one piece.
And all the way, this "captain" plays this record 1,000 times.
Cot never again could listen to this song.
