Life as a Musical

I love old bluesy songs like this. I’ve been finding a few old LP’s of this genre now again at a local charity thrift store.

I had thought the word profane originally meant something secular (outside of the church), but not necessarily unacceptable to the church. Its meaning later changed. It’s interesting how the meaning of a word can change over time. The “f” word is really not profanity in its original meaning.

I love this song. Never heard it before. The word ‘profane’ is very interesting. It originally referred to something unacceptable in general religious morality.

From David Cole’s wonderful mix The Sway —a “trim 35 minutes of old fashioned rhythm & blues from mid-century New Orleans and Texas”— comes this, perhaps the oldest song I know of featuring the f-word.

The profane alternate-take version of “Don’t Play Around with Love” is especially appropriate for a friend of mine today, who’s clever as a fox and should just keep on struttin’ (as illustrated in one of Cole’s essentially perfect works of pixel art).
