BIG JOE TURNER: (Singing) Now, aback I get the dejection I get me a agitation chair. Aback I get the dejected I get me a agitation chair. Well, if the dejection beat me, gonna bedrock appropriate abroad from here. Now, aback I get lonesome...
ED WARD, BYLINE: Here's how it would work, night afterwards night in Kansas City. The bandage onstage would alpha a tune, alien by the piano player, Pete Johnson. Afterwards the aboriginal chorus, the bartender, a big guy aloof out of his teens, would alpha singing blues.

In April 1951, Joe had an adverse gig at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, singing with Count Basie's bandage as a last-minute acting for Jimmy Rushing.
