This song spoke a lot to me. I chose it for one core reason. At first i thought it was about a guy trying to be with a woman that he had been waiting a long time to have as his own, but then i analyzed the stanza i mentioned in the last paragraph, "Lord how long do i have to wait, can i get you now do i have to hesitate", and realized that he was talking about how he had to wait so long for freedom and equal rights for African Americans and it amazed me how indirect, yet how clear the song is.
The reason i like this song is because i plain just think the song beautiful music. I really like the style of music that Jell Roll Morton plays. i can listen to it and actually enjoy it. I also like the feeling that i get when i listen to it because i can just feel he is singing from within and he has such a beautiful voice. i just really appreciated the music. I think I'm actually going to buy a cd.
