Keep Me Posted


As you may have noticed, the first three Midnight Rambles featured songs from the very earliest part of Knees' career. I plan to do the songs in the order in which they were written. This way you can see the progression from rank amateur to seasoned professional to jaded slugabed -- and beyond!

It's going to be a long and arduous 97 nights with some ecstatic peaks and a few godawful valleys, but at the end of the journey you'll have the complete Knees Calhoon songbook and I will know that somewhere in the cloud the whiney voice of Knees Calhoon will warble on long after I have been deleted from the Recycle Bin.

Oh yeah, there's also going to be an election as I get to the swan song.

I just added the live version of this song by the Mighty Calhoon Brothers. I'm pretty sure this was the only time we ever played the song.

 
Written: White Rocks Dorm, NMSU, Las Cruces NM, fall 1965
Recorded: Shreveport LA, 1989
Remixed: Vancleave MS, 2012


Keep me posted baby
On where you goin to
Keep me posted baby
On everything you say and do
No I don’t trust ya baby no not one bit
Cuz I happen to know that you’re not worth it
So keep me posted baby
An I might keep lovin you.

Keep me posted baby
Let me know just where you are
Keep me posted baby
Doncha get in nobody’s car
Well you might fool me baby for a little while
But it won’t be long befo I find out chile
So keep me posted baby
An I might forget you’re such a liar.

Yeah keep me posted if you want yo man
Yeah keep me posted I want no Mojo hand.
