The Yank Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I think he borrowed the line from Ray Bryant's "The Madison"- "Give me a big strong line- it's Madison Time...." 1
Blunny Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Think it's just ... "Give Me Two Bars A Line...Baby It's R & B Time"
Godzilla Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Gimme two boss lines baby it's r & b time I think he borrowed the line from Ray Bryant's "The Madison"- "Give me a big strong line- it's Madison Time...." If not taken directly from it then referring to the same thing at least ie dance instructions. Boss lines are the same as strong lines. You learn to do something then do it with confidence - I reckon this is two lines of people primed and ready to go. Or actually doing the steps in a line more likely. Edited March 4, 2014 by Godzilla
Godzilla Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Think it's just ... "Give Me Two Bars A Line...Baby It's R & B Time" what would that mean..?
Blunny Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 what would that mean..? Assume as in music... Two Bar, Double Bar, etc.
Godzilla Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Assume as in music... Two Bar, Double Bar, etc. I still don't understand what that instruction would mean. "two bars a line" Sorry.
Blunny Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I still don't understand what that instruction would mean. "two bars a line" Sorry. Just a suggestion of what I thought it might be, quite possibly doesn't make sense.
Godzilla Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Just a suggestion of what I thought it might be, quite possibly doesn't make sense. Wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last that any of us joyfully bellow the wrong words to a song 1
Blunny Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last that any of us joyfully bellow the wrong words to a song Very true And you never know, the musicians in the studio could have given him a puzzled look and thought, "What the hells he on about" ,
Godzilla Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Very true And you never know, the musicians in the studio could have given him a puzzled look and thought, "What the hells he on about" , Especially when he says "oh, Uncle Willie was never like this...."
Godzilla Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Two bars slide? It is definitely two boss lines. Not a two bar slide then... 2
Rick Cooper Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Especially when he says "oh, Uncle Willie was never like this...."Uncle Willie was a dance in Chicago which was probably a bit out of date when R&B time was recorded.The Chess TV documentary on TV last Saturday had a good clip of dancers in the US dancing in lines, girls in one line and the guys facing them.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH7LRnyCLoc 1

Thanks Rick, I did know that actually but was making a small joke. Besides, I was probably getting mixed up with the time when Brian Poole and the Tremeloes got their Uncle Willies out on Blue Peter. BBC in the 60s eh? Tish. I nonetheless look forward to you doing a personal demonstration with regard to how I can learn to shimmy like your sister Kate
Paul R Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 It's always been a favourite of mine, hence my signature at the bottom(Which I've probably misquoted!!!!!) Paul
Wiggyflat Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 More importantly who plays the spoons on it...can't be Clive Dunn. 1
Platters 81 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I think he borrowed the line from Ray Bryant's "The Madison"- "Give me a big strong line- it's Madison Time...." yes its a Madison.......with slightly altered lyrics (e.g" two boss lines" ).......ive got the sheet music to Ray Bryants 1960 orig....which uses "freeze"....."hit it"..."your lookin good"...etc....... 1
