from Oannes *

Ένα τραγούδι από το προ πεντααετίας άλμπουμ του Buddy Guy, ζωντανού θρύλου των Chicago blues. Στα 87, ο αειθαλής κιθαρίστας – τραγουδιστής, μέλος του July born musicians club, συνεχίζει να περιοδεύει / ηχογραφεί τη στιγμή που μιλάμε.

A song from the album Buddy Guy, the living Chicago blues legend, released five years ago. At 87, the evergreen guitarist-singer, member of the July born musicians club, keeps on recording / touring as we speak.

❝ I like cooking on a wood stove
People I like it well done
Yeah I like cooking on a wood stove
Let me tell ya’ I like it well done
You can call me old fashioned, but I still know how to have my fun
Leave my doors open, breathe in that country air
(No thought of losin’)
Yes I can leave my doors open, breathe in that country air
It’s good for you
You can call me old fashioned, but I really don’t care
Look out now…
I was born like that and I wouldn’t take it back
Every day you live, I been living three
Yes I say, every day you live, I been living three
A storm ain’t no good, if you don’t give off no heat
They call me old fashioned, that’s just who I am
Yes they call me old fashioned, because that’s just who I am
I’m just like an old car, back when gas was fifty cents
I wish I was back there now …❞
