Martin's Horse |

Now, because I think that rhythm is the key to everything: rhythm in attitude, Rhythm runs the whole swingin' gig. And for that reason I think this is a very interesting, and true, story. And it's about a young man, it's a great rider in the race track. I want to tell you a fantastic story about him. You know, every jockey that rides a horse, And you know what they talk to them about? Love. That's what they talk... Sure! What do you think? What else? Right? I'm talking the essence and the beauty of the sense, of course. This little jockey, this nice little man, got to the track early one morning And his manager got there a short time after him and booked the dog, Joey. So he was the manager..... So he had to take his tight little buttocks off the favorite and put it on the dog. Isn't that right, Mister Martin? Right. And he told me that when the field broke he looked, Couldn't touch him. You touch him, he'd flip. He'd fall over. I don't know what the hell, he'd take off! Pugnacious, you see. So, in translating the sound that Martin put down on this horse with this fantastic result... Now, get this picture - this horse is lost. But Martin lays the scene on him. BUT A LITTLE BETTER, BABY, A LITTLE BETTER!" Said, "I'm gonna tell you something. Said, "Oh, man, this is a great service. This is a great kick. "So, baby," he said, "I don't care what they say. This'll be the first time. You know he wound up the the longest odds Take a bow, Martin. From Buckley's Best, World Pacific Records, transcribed by EARL RIVERS |
