Thanks Dwight - I'll look out for it. After I posted, I googled it to try to learn more. Found out a blue runner is a fish. What with that and the gros bec, I might not be improving my playing, but I'm sure learning some natural history!

In this case, a bluerunner is a snake, and a snake that will chase you. I never ran into, or away from, one when I was growing up in Louisiana, but I heard about them a lot.

Supposedly Bebe wrote this song after seeing his Grandmother get chased out of the chicken coop by a bluerunner snake. There is a definite chicken motif to the melody.

You must be able to hear a clip of it on Amazon, or maybe WalMart.

Try on this page. It doesn't start at the beginning of the song, which is a shame because the beginning is a lot of fun. Its a similar motif, but you have to hear the whole thing.

Thanks Dwight - I heard it. Very nice. I'd like to hear what you make of it.

That whole album looks pretty good.

If you're interested in Creole musicians, or history, or both, its a must have.
