    maybe you had to be there, and old, but this song made me smile today. it's by "little esther" phillips.

    I've got a strange philosophy
    Nothing here appeals to me
    I like my men like I like my whiskey
    Mmm, aged and mellow!

    Some girls just can't seem to see
    Why these little young cats ain't moving me
    But I like my men like I like my whiskey
    Mmm, aged and mellow!

    There's nothing a greenhorn can do for me
    Cause my older daddy suits me to a T
    Now I like my men like I like my whiskey
    Ooh, aged and mellow!

    Now listen youngster, be on your way
    Don't bother me til a later day
    I like my men like I like my whiskey
    Mmm, aged and mellow!

    Junior may be young and strong, girl
    But I'll take grandpa cause he's had it longer
    I like my men like I like my whiskey
    Mmmmmmmmmmmm, aged and mellow!

    Here is a present for you all: four Negro Prison songs, recorded by Alan Lomax in 1959 at the Mississippi State Penitentiary. (4 mp3s in a .zip folder)

    "Prettiest Train" is my favorite.
